Sake to the world
As Sakeman, our motto “Sake to the World” embodies our mission to share the rich history, cultural stories, and unique pleasures of sake with people across the globe. Sake transcends borders and cuisine—it’s not just for Japan or Japanese food. Its universal appeal can elevate dining and cultural experiences for everyone, everywhere.
Who is Sakeman?
United by a shared passion for sake, four individuals from diverse backgrounds and corners of the world don the mask as a symbol of our mission—to champion and spread the joy, culture, and tradition of Japan’s beloved beverage. We stand as advocates for sake brewers, giving them a voice on the global stage and celebrating their craft with the world.
Work Hard, Train Hard,
Play Hard
As a Sakeman, we live by three guiding principles that reflect who we are and how we move through the world. We work hard to strive to maintain balance in all aspects of life. We train hard in Judo to strengthen both mind and body. And we play hard through sake, we embrace the power of connection—bringing joy to gatherings with family and friends while fostering meaningful relationships with people everywhere.
