For years, people have been asking for high-quality sake – now, there is finally a platform for DC’s sake-loving community to come together. That’s why the “co.” in “D.C. Sake cō.” stands for collaboration, community, and connection.\r\rSake, a clear alcoholic beverage from Japan, has gradually developed a core fan base in the United States. As DC’s Michelin-rated dining scene continues to evolve, we see great opportunity for sake to be explored and enjoyed throughout our city.\r\rWe look forward to expanding our delivery area and exploring how sake can bring communities together. Please stay in touch with us and keep an eye out for future events and adventures to connect with other sake fanatics!\r\rD.C. Sake cō. is a woman-owned independent business." } ] } ] ```
