Our Story

Kato Sake Works offers local sake enjoyed genuinely. We are the neighborhood brewery that bridges cultures and reshapes the sake experience. The Katos’ vision is to build a destination for quality craft sake with a brewery culture and casual atmosphere, as well as a place where conversations around art, food, drink and Japanese culture could be shared and enjoyed.The current 500 square foot brewery produces approximately 800 bottles per month. About 70% of sales come from in-store customers purchasing bottles of sake and the remaining 30% of sales comes from 25 wholesale accounts (restaurants, bars and wine & spirits retail stores), mainly in Northern Brooklyn.The brewery has garnered 5-star reviews on Google and Yelp with very positive customer reviews even though we have never been able to offer "real" taproom service due to the pandemic and space constraint.
