I’ve been working in the food and beverage industry most my life, starting out at my father’s pizzeria, and more recently at a luxury hotel in Tokyo. I’m fortunate to have been surrounded by good food and drink my whole life.

A sip of an unusual sake ignited a curiosity in me to seek out more and also moonlight at a sake bar. After training as a sake educator, I volunteered at two of my favourite makers for some hands-on brewing and of course drinking!

Signor Sake is not only a reflection of my Italian and Japanese experience, but also my vision of how the interplay between food and beverage can be. It’s about bringing these two culinary worlds together to explore their mutual limits and possibilities.  

Through exclusive interviews, I share the voices of craft brewers who are making interesting and unique but ultimately sake I love. I created the Top Picks section to help drinkers navigate what to buy from the vast selections out there. And the private tastings and events are another opportunity for people to discover the delights and surprises of this complex beverage.

I hope you enjoy the content.
