🍶 moto-i Minneapolis | America's First Sake Brewpub in Lyn-Lake

Nestled in the vibrant Lyn-Lake neighborhood, moto-i is a pioneering and lively destination that blends Japanese izakaya vibes with craft sake brewed on-site. This is not a quiet sushi bar; it's a trendy, rustic-chic brewpub that feels both modern and traditional, offering a unique experience centered around house-brewed sake, shared plates, and rooftop patio socializing. ✨ The moto-i Experience: The atmosphere is hip and convivial—think exposed brick, wooden communal tables, an open-view sake brewery, and a buzzing rooftop with string lights—creating a perfect setting for groups and dates. The menu features Japanese-inspired izakaya-style small plates like steamed buns, yakitori, ramen, and crispy Brussels sprouts, all designed to pair with their signature house-brewed sake (junmai, nigori, and seasonal flavors). The drink list also includes shochu cocktails and Japanese beers. Service is casual and knowledgeable. It’s a place designed for sipping, sharing, and soaking in the unique blend of Minneapolis cool and Japanese pub culture. 📝 Short Social Media Caption: “Sipping and sharing at America’s first sake brewpub! 🍶 moto-i offers a fun, modern izakaya vibe, house-brewed sake, and a rooftop perfect for Minneapolis nights.
