Tippsy, the LA-Based Sake Startup, Closes Series A First Round with Investment from KOKUBU Group
Founded in 2018 in California, Tippsy aims to “Spread the Love of Sake” by making the world of sake more approachable and enjoyable. The company seeks to establish “sake” as a part of everyday lifestyle, much like wine or beer. More than just an e-commerce site, Tippsy has grown into the largest Japanese sake platform in the U.S. by offering not only products but also rich, educational content that highlights the stories and culture behind each bottle. Today, Tippsy is widely recognized as a leading authority in the U.S. sake market, earning strong trust from both brewers and consumers.
Tippsy, Inc. (CEO: Genki Ito), which operates one of the largest sake e-commerce platforms in the United States, TippsySake.com, announced that it has raised new funding from KOKUBU Group Corp. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo), completing the first close of its Series A round
Through this partnership, Tippsy and KOKUBU Group aim to build a long-term collaborative relationship. By combining Tippsy’s marketing capabilities and consumer touchpoints with KOKUBU’s extensive sake distribution network, the two companies will work to further expand the U.S. sake market, promote Japanese sake culture, and support the sustainable growth of the sake industry.
Editor’s Note
Every bottle of sake has a long history and a tradition that breweries have preserved over generations.
By learning about those stories, you might find a sake that holds special meaning for you.
By the way, my favorite sake is Onikoroshi — which literally means “Demon Slayer!”
