Nova Brewing Co. in Covina, California was established in 2019 by Emiko Tanabe and James Jin, who share a passion for sake and beer. Their inspiration came from the absence of sake breweries in LA, leading them to create a space where visitors can witness the art of sake-making firsthand.

Nova is dedicated to crafting 'namasake,' a fresh and unpasteurized style of sake rare to find due to its delicate nature. Their commitment to small batches ensures a vibrant and juicy taste, offering a unique experience for locals. With their first sake released in 2020, Nova's Gravity and Eclipse varieties have garnered accolades at the New York Wine and Spirits Competition.

By utilizing locally sourced Calrose rice, Californian water, and imported koji spores from Japan, Nova's sake embodies a fusion of tradition and innovation. Their meticulous approach, including importing unique sake yeast strains, reflects a deep respect for the authentic flavors of sake. The brewery's ethos revolves around creating sake that complements LA's diverse culinary landscape.
