Living and working in New York, Hector & Matt discovered the delights of saké in one of their favourite neighbourhood bars. A lowly-lit hidden gem that opened their eyes to the complexities of this mysterious drink.
Often comparing one saké, they embarked on brewing their own batch in Brooklyn.
Curiosity grew into obsession. Hector & Matt travelled to Japan, visiting saké breweries stepped in history and speaking with Tojis (Master Brewers) to deepen their understanding of the craft and culture.
Having both moved back to London, Hector & Matt found a small but growing saké scene. Finding it difficult to source interesting saké in the UK, they began crafting saké cocktails as an approachable way to engage the British public.
