We’ll guide you through 4 sakes selected to appeal to wine lovers – think the sake equivalent of a fruity white, an earthy red, champagne, and dessert wine. We’ll talk about sake and wine’s differences and similarities, including their ingredients, production methods, tasting notes, and pairings

Sakura Masturi
Sakura Matsuri is DC’s Spring Japanese Street Festival, celebrating the cherry blossom season.
We’ll be pouring at the Tachinomi Pavilion. The pavilion operates as a timed-ticketed “mini sake festival,” meaning access is separate from general Matsuri admission and is organized into specific time slots to manage crowd flow and enhance the tasting experience.
Stop by, drink some sake from a variety of breweries, and say hi!

Spring Sake Festival
DC Sake Co’s Spring Sake Festival
Join us for the fourth-annual Spring Sake Festival at the Washington Marriott Capitol Hill!
In Japan, there is a cultural practice called Hanami, a tradition in Japan that celebrates the beauty of the passing seasons. People gather and picnic under the trees to admire the blooming cherry blossoms, which are seen as a symbol of life’s transience and beauty, all while sipping on those delicious sakes.
