Sake Tasting Partners
Saké Nomi
Located in the heart of Pioneer Square, Saké Nomi is a place to explore premium Japanese saké, its brewing culture and traditions in a convivial, welcoming environment. They are the first, and only, dedicated sake bar in the Pacific Northwest, and for the past 18 years they have served some of the best sakes available from all over Japan. This year the Festival is partnering with Saké Nomi to secure the sake for this event.
Hyogo Business & Cultural Center (HBCC)
We are excited to partner this year with the Hyogo Business & Cultural Center (HBCC), and as part of this year’s tastings, we will feature 2 premium sakes from Hyogo Prefecture, our sister-state in Japan. HBCC is an overseas office based in Seattle, Washington, established by Hyogo Prefecture to promote exchanges in fields such as business, tourism, and education with all states in the United States.
