We warmly welcome you
to our Sake Bar.
Koshu Sake Bar was born from the vision of our founder, Kalim Hasan, and his passion for sharing the art and culture of Japanese sake with the local community in Pittsboro, North Carolina. Inspired by the discovery of Koshu, a rare aged sake renowned for its depth and character, Kalim pursued an apprenticeship at Ben’s American Sake in Asheville, North Carolina—the state’s only commercial sake brewery. This hands-on experience deepened his appreciation for the craftsmanship and dedication behind sake-making and inspired him to bring this tradition to Pittsboro.
At Koshu Sake Bar, we celebrate the elegance of rare and vintage sakes paired with Japanese-inspired snacks and instant ramen, all within a warm and inviting atmosphere. More than a bar, Koshu is a gathering place for those who appreciate culture, flavor, and the beauty of shared experiences.
What To Expect
Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or exploring sake for the first time, Koshu Sake Bar promises an unforgettable experience celebrating the artistry, flavor, and tradition of Japan.
