Sake Made In Paris | Buy Sake From The Wakaze Brewery
HARMONY THROUGH DIFFERENCE
Takuma Inagawa, CEO, spent his studies in Paris,
where he found that it is difficult to find good sake
outside of Japan. Joining forces with Shoya Imai,
together they founded Wakaze. Shoya, the master
brewer, comes from a family of brewers since the
Edo period. He has mastered the art of brewing in
various prestigious breweries such as Aramasa in
Akita, Masuda in Toyama and Abe in Niigata.
ONLY THE BEST
Inspired by France, we believe in only using local
and natural products.
We use Japonica rice grown in Camargue and
mineral-rich natural French water.
Our organic French yeast lends fruity, floral, and
mineral notes.
Koji is handmade by the brewer on site, using
Camargue rice.

traditional techniques

so you can fully experience our motto, "ENJOY
WITHOUT RULES"!

aperitif, during the meal with fish or seafood, as a
cocktail...the possibilities are endless!
