Sawtelle Sake

Good Luck from LA!

Sawtelle Sake is a craft sake brewery in Los Angeles. Founded in 2019, Sawtelle Sake is the first sake brewery to open in the city of Los Angeles since the 1950's. 

Our passion is brewing with the incredible techniques perfected over centuries in Japan and using the abundant agriculture in our local ecology to create sake that could only come from California. 

Nothing about starting a sake brewery from scratch in Los Angeles came easy. In fact, everything that could go wrong continues to go wrong to this day. Despite the challenges, we are committed to seeing our vision for sake unfold.

Our goal here is to highlight both the good and the bad of our journey. We show you how we brew sake, how we run a sake brewery, and attempt to explain our never-ending pursuit of flavor.
