Discover The World of Japanese Sake With Me!
As a certified sake sommelier, my passion is to help people discover Japanese sake. I am a sake Podcast host, photographer, and writer creating unique sake-related content and turning vacations into unforgettable travel experiences.
I travel all over Japan to meet brewers, discover outstanding sake and share what I find in multiple publications. I love meeting people, so if you are coming to Japan, whether you are looking for a sake tasting - overlooking the beautiful cherry blossoms or a luxury sake dinner in Tokyo, Kyoto, or Sapporo, join me for an hour, a day, or a week!

I was delighted to meet with Paul McInnes from Tokyo Weekender for an early 8 am Coffee and talk a little bit about my sake nomad life, other projects, and of course photography.
A real fun chat and I was so excited to not just share a little bit of what I do, but to also give a few shout-outs to people who have changed my life and helped and supported me in one way or another on my sake journey...

Interview: Tokyo Weekender!
A few months ago the lovely people from Arigato Travel asked me if I was interested in being interviewed about my life here in Japan, including sharing some of my projects and of course talking about sake.
I was very excited to not just chat a little bit about what I do, but also give a few shout-outs to projects and people that I think are doing an amazing job promoting sake both in and outside of Japan...
...and here it is!

Doburoku Ambassador!
When I fell in love with Doburoku a few years ago I would not have thought I would become a Doburoku Ambassador, so when I was asked to join the amazing group of people who promote Doburoku at Doburoku Lovers, I was surprised and felt incredibly honored and excited!

EVENT: #beyondsake x Tsukiji Sake Salon x Miyoshikiku Sake Brewery
Another event of my #beyondsake series, this time in collaboration with Tsukiji Sake Salon in Tokyo and Miyoshikiku Sake Brewery from Shikoku!
I am looking forward to sharing my impressions of the brewery through my photography exhibited on the day of my visit when I helped make sake with them last year and I am uber-excited as Kuramoto-Toji, Mamiya-san, and two of his daughters will be joining the evening bringing plenty of sake as well as some of his hand-made T-shirts!

This Month in Sake!
Being pretty much continuously on the road exploring what is happening in the sake industry, I thought I should create a space to document my sake travels, even if just briefly. So I created "This Month in Sake", which highlights some of the sake breweries I visited, festivals & sake events, and of course the people I have met along the road.
