DC Sake cō
By Reiko
This Podcast is Reiko, the owner of DC Sake cō’s voice diary. 😅 Behind the scene challenges, food for thoughts, even my bragging. :-) Super short episodes each time, but hope you’d enjoy my journey of running the sake shop!
Our Story:
In June 2020, D.C. Sake cō. became DC’s first local e-commerce site specializing exclusively in Japanese beverages. 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.
