Sunday, September 27, 2026, 9:00 PM - 1:00 AM · Kato Sake Works, Bushwick, New York City
Kato Sake Works pours its Brooklyn-brewed sake at the 6th annual World Sake Day NYC, hosted at The W Loft Brooklyn on September 27th. Founder Shinobu Kato helped launch the event in 2021 and returns to showcase locally made sake.
Brooklyn’s very own sake brewery, where the pours are generous, the space is minimalist but warm, and every sip reminds you that sake is a whole world deeper than the hot stuff you chugged in college. Order a flight, ask questions, and pretend you always knew what junmai and nigori meant.
Three pours of Kato's junmai varieties, brewed on-site using California-grown Calrose rice
Light silky hazy sake with apple skin and cut grass notes
Juicy tropical fruit and apricot aromas with raw freshness
