San Diego Is the Newest Frontier for American Sake | Condé Nast Traveler
"In recent years, the city has quietly become home to a number of sake experts ready to sing its praises. Chief among them is Ayaka Ito, who founded Beshock Ramen in 2016. Ito is one of fewer than 300 Kikisake-shi (the sake equivalent of a sommelier) in the U.S, and the menu at Beshock includes both a sake flight, and sake pairings for dishes like koji karaage."
