Sake Solutions LLC
​
Howdy!
I'm Melissa.
I've been interested to learn more about sake since I first saw it depicted on television in middle school.
The delicate cups seemed so tiny on the large lacquerware serving plates and I could see the textures on the pottery. I wanted to see how the cups felt, wanted to learn about the smells and taste of the food being depicted . . .
Now that I run Sake Solutions LLC, you could say that I may know a thing or two about Japanese liquors and the pairings that elevate your meal. But I'm not satisfied with what I know now and am always committed to learning, exploring and yes, tasting more!
I would venture to say that I'm committed to connecting people to new drinks, helping small distilleries compete in the global market, and to showcasing this fascinating part of Japanese food culture.
Join me on this journey. Kanpai!
My Story
My journey to creating Sake Solutions LLC started when I was back in school getting my MBA.
​
I was cleaning and going through my things when I came across a bottle of sake that had been gifted to me in Sendai.
I was expecting my first son at the time and had tucked the bottle away to be sampled later and had forgotten about it. Now was the time to drink it. My husband and I cracked it open and shared it over some Japanese curry rice. Looking back, I think it probably wasn't the recommended pairing, but then I knew that I wanted to introduce this sake to others back in the US.
So I started Sake Solutions LLC in the hope of bringing the customer wonderful sake beverages that they can't normally buy in the store. I started the company with the hope of educating consumers about sake and Japanese culture and being able to share the wonderful experience with the world.
​
My hope is that you'll learn about small scale distilleries and meet some great people, and drinks, along the way!
