Based in Tokyo and originally from Akita Prefecture, I am a sake writer passionate about spreading the charm of Japanese sake. Driven by the desire to share the incredible flavors and fascinating stories behind sake while expanding the community of sake enthusiasts, I contribute articles on the theme of sake to magazines, newsletters, and various media outlets. I am particularly captivated by aged and matured sakes that bring unexpected surprises when paired with food. At home, I store and study over 100 bottles of sake, conducting independent research. I aim to continue sharing stories that celebrate sake, food, and the culture surrounding them.
