Welcome to the Saké Association of America Website
SAA, was established in July 1997, by the ten major saké businesses in the United States. Seven of the ten saké businesses manufacturer saké in the US, and three are major importers of saké from Japan. These ten businesses have invested significantly in developing the US saké industry. Now combined, the ten saké business supply 1.5 million cases of saké (more than 100% increase in 10 years) every year in United States.
Saké is one of the oldest alcoholic beverages in the world, with the first written record of saké being drunk in Japan dated from about 300 A.D. In the United States, the first saké brewery was established in Hawaii in 1908. However, awareness of saké, outside of the Japanese community in the United States, has been a very recent phenomena. This website is designed to help educate you to the joy of saké. Enjoy!
