OUR SAKE
Our handcrafted sake is brewed in a junmai style using only rice, water, yeast and koji. The resulting beverage is a crisp and flavorful, nama (unpasteurized) sake, that is fresh and alive, refreshingly light, with a deep taste and balanced finish. Our portfolio of Junmai Ginjo, Junmai Daiginjo, and Fruits Sake can be enjoyed as apéritifs, and pair exceptionally well with a variety of cuisines, from light salads and carpaccio, to grilled meats, sushi, and traditional Japanese dishes.
We chose Hawaii for our sake brewery. We invite you to discover the our story, concept, mission, and philosophy.

ISLANDER SAKE BREWERY
Islander Sake Brewery makes premium handcrafted sake, carefully produced in small batches, using the same methods as the highest quality daiginjo sake made in Japan. Inspired by the passion of the farmers, we would like to share our sake, made from their rice, with you and your ohana, to savor and enjoy with the soft.

FARMERS MARKET
Since its launch in December 2019, Islander Sake Brewery has been a proud
participant in the Kakaʻako Farmers Market. However, after five incredible years,
we’ve decided to take a temporary break starting end of December 2024. We extend
our heartfelt gratitude to all the amazake fans and loyal customers who have
supported us throughout this journey.
BREWERY
We are very proud of announcing today that we will open new sake brewery at the
Hapuna Golf Course of Mauna Kea Resort on the Big Island. We would like to
make Hawaiian sake in an environment full of greenery, with the dry wind
blowing down from Mt. Mauna Kea and the blue sky.
