Sake Day officially originated in 1978 when the Japan Sake Brewers Association declared it as the day to celebrate and promote the enjoyment of sake. Historically, its origin can also be traced to the implementation of the Japanese State Taxation Law in 1895 which taxed sake based on a production calendar beginning in October.  In addition to the practical (tax) and rice harvest rationale for this timing,  there is also the idea that it has some basis in the fact that the <em>kanji <\/em>or Chinese character for sake is \u00e9\u2026\u2019, which is very similar to that of the Rooster, the tenth sign of the Chinese zodiac \u00e9\u2026\u2030.<\/p>\n<p>On this particular Sake Day, we are also celebrating the progress on the interior of our shop. The personality of <strong>Sakaya <\/strong>is beginning to take shape with freshly painted &#8220;river rock&#8221; colored walls, a &#8220;metallic pearlescent&#8221; white ceiling,  and a stripped and refinished cedar-shade floor.<\/p>\n<p>Please join us in enjoying a cup, glass, or bottle of sake today to thank our friends in the sake brewing community for their dedication to creating and producing this exquisite beverage.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Kanpai!<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sakayanyc.com\/blog\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/img_0594_1.JPG\" title=\"sakaya interior 9\/29\/07\"> <\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sakayanyc.com\/blog\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/img_0594_1.JPG\" title=\"sakaya interior 9\/29\/07\">       <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sakayanyc.com\/blog\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/img_0594_1.JPG\" title=\"sakaya interior 9\/29\/07\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sakayanyc.com\/blog\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/img_0594_1.JPG?ssl=1\" title=\"sakaya interior 9\/29\/07\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sakayanyc.com\/blog\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/img_0594_1.JPG?resize=304%2C229&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"sakaya interior 9\/29\/07\" height=\"229\" width=\"304\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sakayanyc.com\/blog\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/picture-007_1_1.jpg\" title=\"sakaya interior 1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sakayanyc.com\/blog\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/picture-007_1_1.jpg?ssl=1\" title=\"sakaya interior 1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sakayanyc.com\/blog\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/picture-007_1_1.jpg?resize=200%2C262&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"sakaya interior 1\" height=\"262\" width=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October 1st is Sake Day or Nihonshu no Hi in Japanese.
