Yukiotoko “Yeti” Junmai
Niigata prefecture
Cozy up with the yeti
Yukiotoko “Yeti” Junmai is quite dry, with umami from the rice that expands on your palate. Offering a slightly fuller texture than its honjozo counterpart, it’s great to pair this with more rich foods like slow-simmered pork in soy sauce, fatty tuna, and clam chowder. You can enjoy this at various temperatures, but trying it warm is a must to get the full flavor effect and the mood.

Aoki Brewing Company
Established in 1717, Aoki Brewing Company is located in Minamiuonuma, Niigata prefecture, which happens to be one of the snowiest places in the world. The prefecture is known for slightly dry sake with a clean finish, but this brewery strives to make clean, “umakuchi” sake, bringing out more of the umami from the rice. Merchant and author Bokushi Suzuki is an ancestor of the brewery, and is said to have named their brand Kakurei, a word denoting longevity. Yukiotoko (yeti), another brand of sake they produce, is named after a character depicted in his book.
