The Koji Club is a safe space to celebrate, learn about and drink good sake.
What started as a virtual tasting experience, The Koji Club has since blossomed into a full-fledged sake bar in Brighton. Opening its doors at the Charles River Speedway in February 2022, this joint is dedicated to introducing the wide—and, at times, elusive—world of sake to Boston consumers in an approachable manner, allowing them to embrace and celebrate this lesser-known Japanese spirit in a safe learning environment. The bar features a menu filled with dozens of types of sake spanning the entirety of this rice-based beverage genre either by the glass, cup or variously sized bottles. Novices can dip their toes into this Far Eastern drink category by asking any of the enthusiastic staff members for guidance or by attending one of its ticketed tastings on Sundays. Meanwhile, more experienced connoisseurs can dive even deeper into the sake realm and splurge on a bottle from Koji’s reserve list. Either way, guests can sip their way through their experience alongside a number of tasty bar snacks, ranging from the sophisticated (i.e. caviar service) to the simple (spicy chili potato chips).
