SakéOne Saké Clubs

What's in the box: A selection of saké bottles drawn from SakéOne's own Oregon brewed labels and the Japanese brands it imports.

SakéOne calls itself America's original premium saké company. It is best known for brewing Momokawa and Moonstone in Forest Grove, Oregon, and it also imports Japanese labels such as Hakutsuru, Kasumi Tsuru, Murai Family and SHEZEN. Its saké club draws on that catalog, so members can expect bottles from both the American craft side and the imported side of the range. The site's main pages do not spell out club tiers, shipment frequency or bottle counts, so read the club page carefully before signing up. The wider shop shows how broad the styles are: junmai ginjo, daiginjo, nigori, sparkling, unpasteurized namachozo, and fruit infused options such as Asian pear and coconut lemongrass. Bottles run from everyday picks to special occasion daiginjo. That variety is the main appeal. A club run by a producer and importer is a sensible way to try styles that many local stores do not stock, and SakéOne has decades of experience in the category. The tradeoff is that every bottle comes from one company's portfolio, not a broad independent selection, and purists may not care for the flavored Moonstone line. You must be 21 or older, and alcohol shipping rules vary by state, so check that delivery is available where you live.
