Dear SAKEMARU members

Thank you very much for continuously subscribing and supporting SAKEMARU. Being back by a lot of sake lovers’ support, we could have come to this far.

This renewal is our turning point to step up to the next phase, so I’d like to talk about our future scope.
First of all, I’d like to introduce the SAKEMARU team. We consist of 4 sake sommeliers. Being led by the honorary sake sommelier, Tadashi Okushima, we are carefully tasting and selecting your sake.

Talking about our mission, it is to elevate the standard of sake to that of wine or more. To make this happen, it’s not good enough to just deliver the delicious sake. We need to tell more about the brewery itself and behind-the-scene of brewing to increase the fun of sake and its culture.
The value we can offer is not only delicious sake at the reasonable price, you will also be familiar with the sake culture.

Through this 2 and half years, we have learned a lot of things from our members and achieved a lot of sake ambassadors.
They proactively learn a lot about sake and tell how great sake is to their people. It’s impossible to make the mission happen with only our effort. We really would like to increase those passionate people and bring the phase of sake culture to the next level.
We believe this update amplifies what we have experienced and built with our members. Points are as follows;

1. Online shopping open to both beginners and sake maniacs
   The new online shop offers the user-friendly search function for both beginners and sake maniacs. The shop offers both the simple and advanced search. By opening the service more publicly, we can enlarge the chance to make sake funs.
2. More linked and informative knowledge
   For the people who want to know more about sake, we added lots more knowledge of sake and made the relationships among knowledge easier to have a picture.
3. More variety of sake
   There are 15,000 labels of sake in Japan and breweries produce new labels every year. We will offer more variety of sake to tell how deep sake world is.

You might be worried that the benefit of subscribers will be gone by the online shop but no worries! We promise following things for the subscribers.

1. More information
2. More knowledge
3. The best price
4. More gifts（Snow-aging sake inclusive）
5. Exclusive shop only for subscribers
6. Exclusive events for subscribers

We are sure that what we can offer to subscribers should be wider and larger. Please look forward the further improvement of SAKEMARU.
We are planning more exciting events in near future!

Let’s enjoy sake and know the fabulous sake world together!!
