SakeOne in Forest Grove, OR

This is one of few Saki brewing places in the USA.  We went for a tasting and then toured the plant to see how Saki is made. 

 

The rice for the Saki made here is grown in California, not Japan, but interestingly, the Saki brewed here is exported to Japan along with it being shipped to many other countries as well.  It's really that good.

 

 

 

This picture on the building shows how Saki was made before the invention of Saki making machinery.

 

Large stainless steel vats are used to ferment the Saki.

 

I, of course, could not leave without taking the finished product with me.
