Introducing Kintsugi Sake: A Celebration of Tradition, Luxury, & Innovation

MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 14, 2025 – Drawing inspiration from the ancient Japanese art of kintsugi—the philosophy of finding beauty in imperfections—Kintsugi Sake is set to revolutionize how North Americans enjoy this renowned Japanese beverage. By blending 200 years of brewing tradition with innovative packaging and exceptional quality, Kintsugi Sake invites drinkers to indulge in a truly luxurious experience.

Developed in the United States with rice from Isbell Farms in Arkansas, Kintsugi Sake fuses Japanese brewing traditions with innovative techniques, making it a true pioneer in American-made sake. The brand is crafted with Yamada Nishiki rice milled to 40% and pure water sourced from the Blue Ridge Mountains, delivering an award-winning, clean, and smooth flavor.

Its flavor profile complements dishes traditionally paired with high-quality white wines, from fresh seafood to delicate risottos. The bottle itself is a striking symbol of luxury, elevating any table setting and making it the perfect choice for sophisticated gatherings and celebrations. Kintsugi Sake is designed for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

Kintsugi is also set to introduce a new standard in sake packaging, where premium and affordable options often look indistinguishable. This bold approach ensures that the visuals and design of the bottle match the quality within. 

“Our mission with Kintsugi Sake is to bring sake to the forefront of luxury beverage culture,” said Buzzy Sklar, founder and CEO of Kintsugi Sake. “We’ve crafted a product that’s not just about exceptional taste—it’s about telling a story. Every bottle represents a fusion of tradition, innovation and elegance, making it a true work of art for discerning drinkers.”

The launch of Kintsugi Sake is just the beginning. Limited-edition variations are already in the works, promising new ways to indulge in the brand’s unparalleled craftsmanship.
