This Sunday Ontario Spring Water Sake Company will have been open to the public for a whole year – we hope you can help us to celebrate this milestone! We will be offering all sake-by-the-glass including hot sake carafes at 30% off, free
sweet non-alcoholic warm koji sake and a variety of baked sakekasu treats for the kids, and large 1.8 litre bottles of sake at 15% off our regular prices.

Thanks to the support of our customers and the dedication of our team members, our first year has seen thousands of guests enjoy IZUMI sake at our brewery, and many more at our client restaurant locations which now number above 50 and at home through purchases of our sake at the growing number of LCBO outlets that carry IZUMI. We have also taken part in many gourmet events around Toronto thanks to the interest of our hosts, and look forward to remaining engaged in the vibrant local food and beverage community here in Ontario.

We hope to see you Sunday!

A very exciting event will take place adjacent to our brewery on May 31, 2012: Kampai Toronto, the largest sake tasting festival ever to be organized in Canada, featuring more than 100 sakes from Japan and North America, including of course our own IZUMI sakes!

Kampai Toronto is being put on by the Sake Institute of Ontario, a non-profit organization of which we are a founding member whose mission is to promote the safe and enjoyable consumption of sake. The event will also feature appetizer-style food from 6 excellent restaurants. Many breweries will send representatives including toji (master brewers) and owners to pour and discuss their sakes, so it should be a truly memorable event. Our brewery tasting bar and store will run extended hours on that day before,during and after the event, so that those who want to combine a visit to Kampai Toronto with a visit to a sake brewery can do so.

The Kampai Toronto press release is as follows:
