Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: July 2026

WabiFinds is a reader-supported website. That means when you click on some of the links in our articles — for sake, kitchenware, travel gear, or anything else we’ve written about — and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission from the retailer or brand. This comes at absolutely no extra cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer’s site.

This is how WabiFinds stays running. It lets us keep researching, traveling, tasting, and writing in-depth guides instead of filling the site with generic banner ads.

What This Means for You

Transparency matters to us, so here’s exactly how it works in practice:

  • We only recommend things we’ve actually researched, tried, or would genuinely give to our own friends and family. If a product doesn’t hold up, we say so in the article — pros and cons, not just pros.
  • Commission never determines our recommendations. We don’t rank a product higher because it pays a better commission, and we turn down partnerships with brands we can’t stand behind.
  • Some links on this site are affiliate links, and some aren’t. We link to official brewery pages, cultural resources, and other sites simply because they’re useful — not every link earns us anything.
  • Prices and availability can change after we publish an article. We do our best to keep guides updated, but always double-check current pricing and stock on the retailer’s own page before buying.

Where You’ll See This

Because U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines require clear disclosure of affiliate relationships, you’ll also see a short version of this notice at the top of any article that contains affiliate links — not just buried here on this page.

Our Affiliate Partners

WabiFinds participates in affiliate programs and networks including, but not limited to, Amazon Associates and individual brand/retailer affiliate programs (such as sake breweries, kitchenware retailers, and travel booking platforms). As our content grows, this list will expand, and we’ll keep this page updated to reflect that.

Questions?

If you ever want to know whether a specific link on WabiFinds is an affiliate link, or have any questions about how we choose what to recommend, feel free to reach out through our Contact page.

Thanks for trusting us enough to read this far — it genuinely helps keep this site independent and honest.
