LA GALAXY AND DIGNITY HEALTH SPORTS PARK LAUNCH NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH HAKUTSURU SAKE

Multiyear Partnership Brings Signature Sayuri Nigori Sake and Exclusive Cocktails to Fans at Dignity Health Sports Park

LOS ANGELES, CA — [September 4, 2025] — The six-time MLS Cup champion LA Galaxy and their home stadium, Dignity Health Sports Park (DHSP), have launched a new, multiyear partnership with Hakutsuru Sake, one of Japan’s oldest and most respected sake breweries. Beginning with the current 2025 MLS season, Hakutsuru Sake becomes an Official Partner of the LA Galaxy and Dignity Health Sports Park, as well as an Official Sake Partner of the LA Galaxy, bringing the elegant taste of its best-selling sake to fans at every home game. 

As part of the partnership, brokered by AEG Global Partnerships, Sayuri Nigori Sake, Hakutsuru’s internationally acclaimed unfiltered sake, will be available at all bars throughout Dignity Health Sports Park, making it the first premium Japanese sake to be widely offered across the stadium. In addition, Hakutsuru will introduce a custom-branded sake bar located on the West Concourse of DHSP, offering two signature cocktails crafted specifically for the LA Galaxy matchday experience:

  • Sayuri Margarita – a refreshing fusion of sake and citrus, inspired by the vibrant flavors of Southern California.
  • Sayuri Frozen Margarita– a slushy-style twist on the original, perfect for warm match days and summer nights under the stadium lights.

These two unique cocktails will be served exclusively inside Dignity Health Sports Park during all LA Galaxy games, making the experience truly one-of-a-kind for soccer fans and sake enthusiasts alike.

“We are honored to partner with the LA Galaxy and introduce our sake to their passionate fanbase,” said Yoshiki Hida, Regional Director at Hakutsuru Sake. “Soccer brings people together across cultures, and we believe our Sayuri Nigori Sake and new cocktails will add something special to every matchday.”

Additionally, as an Official Partner, Hakutsuru will benefit from enhanced brand visibility across the venue on match days and on the club’s and the venue’s digital channels. The brand will also be integrated into key moments and special events at DHSP.

“Hakutsuru’s legacy of quality and craftsmanship aligns perfectly with the values of LA Galaxy and Dignity Health Sports Park,” said Rashid Dadashi, Senior Director, AEG Global Partnerships. “We’re excited to offer fans a fresh and authentic new beverage experience at our matches.”

The partnership celebrates the fusion of Japanese tradition and Los Angeles’ multicultural spirit, marking a new chapter of cross-cultural collaboration in the world of professional soccer.
