Our friend Masa at Artisan Sake helps bring the best sake to our restaurant. Located off Granville Island, Artisan Sake grows their own rice right here in British Columbia, with Masa’s locally grown rice from Abbotsford being the first of its kind. We’re incredibly honoured to be one of the few spots in Vancouver that serves this exceptional, locally grown rice.

At The Acorn, we’re also grateful to receive their sake kasu—the leftover pulp from sake making. While most people tend to discard pulp, sake kasu surprises with its rich flavor and versatility. Access to this ingredient is rare in North America, making it an invaluable addition to our offerings.

Masa’s sake, rice, and sake kasu are woven throughout our menu. We’re humbled to showcase his commitment and dedication to his craft.
