Patsy Lu was born in Taiwan and raised in California, United States. She came across sakes unlike anything she’s ever tasted while working in Asia. Inspired by the rice kernels’ transcendence – from something so humble into a beverage of unparalleled history, tradition, art, and character – it prompted new perspectives and led to a road of discoveries, including ones of herself.
With a Marketing Communications background in hospitality and tech innovations, Patsy currently promotes and does Sales & Marketing under the Sake Development Division at Mutual Trading Company, where she enjoys exposing people to unexpected pairings and seeing them make their own revelations through fun and educational events.
