About WORLD SAKE DAY NYC World Sake Day NYC was founded by Mika Furuya in 2021, with the first event held at her venue, MIKA Bar in Bushwick, in partnership with Shinobu Kato of Kato Sake Works. The first edition featured 12 sakes from four companies: Kato Sake Works, Gosakeman, Kubota, and Skurnik Wines, drawing over 300 attendees. Since then, the event has grown steadily in both size and impact. Its mission is to celebrate and promote Japanese craft sake by connecting guests directly with brewers — sharing the culture, people, and passion that make sake unique. 💸 Refund Policy All ticket sales are non-refundable.
