Join us for a special night to meet Taiun Sake Brewing Toji Mr. Chan. More details to come, stay tuned!

Year 2 of the Fifth Taste Sake Day Sake Pre-Party!
An other wonderful night of celebrating sake and friends with music and snacks. Fifth Taste will be hosting the party at Millay, the ticket will cover a good time, snacks and unlimited exclusive sake that will not be poured at Sake Day SF.
GET YOUR TICKETS HERE!

Keeping the sake celebration traditions we’ll keep the week going with a Zev Rovine and Yoigokochi Sake Importers. Yoigokochi focuses on junmaishu with an emphasis on unpasteurized, unfiltered and undiluted sake. We’ll also have Tacos Sincero as our pop up partner and are planning a wild combination of sake and food.

We're kicking off Sake Day with a special celebration featuring Koedo Kagamiyama Shuzo from Saitama and Casa de Kei from the Bay Area. If you joined us for last year's tasting, you already know what an incredible evening this will be!

If you missed it, here's your chance to meet the Toji from this tiny brewery - about the size of Millay - that operates without electricity and creates some of the most compelling sake in Japan. It's a rare opportunity to taste exceptional sake while hearing directly from the master who makes it.

No reservations needed - it's first come, first served, so arrive early!

A delicious pop-up from Walker Stern and Devon Nevola.
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, we're letting the food from their last visit speak for itself.

Running Wylder is hosting a special run that is going to lead straight to Millay!
If you haven’t been already Running Wylder is an amazing shoe stores for the runner in all of us.

From their website:

Summer might be over in other parts of the world, but in SF we're just getting started!

The third (+ possibly last?) installment of our summer wine series is Millay, a wine + sake bar in the heart of the mission.  This one's been on our list + we're so excited to pay it a visit.

We'll be running on a Monday i/o Wednesday this time - the goal of these runs has been to create community + explore some great neighborhood spots, bringing them business on days when they're not crazy busy + Mondays are quiet ones for Millay.  We can't think of a better way to start off the week than a casual run with friends (+ good wine).

We'll meet at the store at 6pm, running a chill 3-ish miles to Millay where we'll enjoy wine, sake + TBD some light bites.

Sign up required via Movemint.

The brewery is located in Furukawa-cho, Hida City, in the northernmost part of Gifu Prefecture, in the Furukawa Basin surrounded by mountains such as the Northern Alps and the Hida Mountain Range, which are over 3,000 meters above sea level. Surrounded by rich water sources and forests, the town brews its representative brand "Hourai" and its back brand "W" in the cold climate of one of the heaviest snowfall areas in Japan. The streets of Hida Furukawa have a magnificent elegance and old-fashioned character. The townscape of Hida Furukawa has a magnificent elegance and antiquity, and because it is not touristy, you can feel its unspoiled appearance, expression, and even personality," said writer Ryotaro Shiba ("On the Road"). Ichinomachi, with its rows of old merchant houses with demarcated wooden doors, has a serene appearance, and the Setogawa River, with its rows of storehouses with white walls and black hipped walls, still exudes a tranquil atmosphere.-www.sakenomy.jp

It's always a party when En Cavale is in the house. Wolfgang Weber, one half of the fabulous duo, will be here pouring their wines and chatting it up with all of you. We love these wines so much that Angel has a tattoo of the label on her arm — can't get a higher seal of approval than that!
These wines + Kei’s food. Triple chef’s kiss to the heavens.

Come join us for a very special night where we'll be hosting not one but three brewers along with the world's leading non-Japanese sake expert, John Gauntner. We'll be pouring flights all night, but you can meet John and the makers from some of your favorite breweries in person at Millay from 6:30-8pm.

You'll get to meet representatives from:

• Rihaku Brewery (Shimane Prefecture), the makers of Dreamy Clouds, the nigori with the 59% milling rate you all go nuts over

• Kawatsuru Brewery (Kagawa Prefecture), creators of the 'olive sake' that's easily recognized on the shelf and pairs perfectly with your favorite slice of Outtasight Pizza

• Takatenjin Brewery, whose Sword of the Sun has been featured in our sake club in the past and who also craft the exquisite Soul of the Sensei Junmai Daiginjo

We'll be featuring a special flight with a sake from each brewery, complemented by delicious food from Casa de Kei.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to deepen your sake knowledge with true masters of the craft.
