We’re thrilled to be working with Namazake Paul Imports in the PNW - a little more about what we do for our new friends in the area:

Proper specializes in sake at the intersection of old world and new, elegant and complex. We predominantly brew Yamahai and Kimoto sakes in the Ginjo and Daiginjo categories with a slightly harder water profile to build in a touch of crisp, minerality.

Of course it’s impossible to make a thing that is everything to everyone, everywhere all the time but we sure try… Hopefully there’s enough panache in our ferments to match pitch with just about any occasion you might be able to come up with, either way we’d love to talk about it with you sometime soon.

-with love from Nashville, Byron Stithem (Chief Fermentation Officer)
