Saké for Everyone

We are an experimental sakagura making sake for modern times. Trained in Japan, we set up our second brewery located in the suburb of Paris to share Wakaze with the world. Everyone, everywhere deserves good sake to enjoy with food, with friends, and without rules.

Takuma Inagawa

Takuma is the Founder and CEO of Wakaze sakagura. As a graduate in Science and Engineering from the University of Keio and the Ecole Centrale Paris, he began his career at Boston Consulting Group before launching Wakaze in Japan in 2016.

Philosophy

Takuma leads a team obsessed with quality. After struggling to find good sake outside of Japan, he founded their brewery using centuries-old knowledge, French ingredients, and innovative techniques. Wakaze is a product of many things:

Intuition and precision. 
Experimentation and mastery. 
History and heart. 

To democratize sake for everyone, we’re respecting tradition while breaking conventions. Combining Japanese expertise with French influence. Bringing together the best of two cultures. We want to foster a global love for sake. This is about making sake for the next generation.
