Over the past several years, Tippsy has grown alongside an incredible community of sake lovers like you.
As our work has evolved, we’ve also been thinking deeply about the future of sake in the United States — how it should be discovered, experienced, and judged on its own terms.
Tippsy has transitioned to a new name: Palate Project.
While the name and look of our website will evolve, nothing about the company itself is changing. The team behind Tippsy remains the same, our operations remain the same, and your customer account will stay exactly as it is.
