Ohyama “Sakuya Konohana” Umeshu
Yamagata prefecture
Exquisite sake and ume collaboration
If you’re an umeboshi (pickled plum) lover, this “umeshu” (plum wine) is for you. It was born from a collaboration with an eighth-generation confectionery business in Yamagata called Satoya Matsubee. The marriage between the iconic “Tomizu” sake, using a higher ratio of rice and an abundant amount of Satoya Matsubee’s famous umeboshi, is just bliss. Try it on its own or with food; the sweet and tart balance is addicting.

Kato Kahachiro Brewing Company
Kato Kahachiro Brewing Company was founded in 1872 in Oyama, an area admired as “Little Nada.” (Nada is a famous region for sake brewing.) The brewing company has a history that traces back to the children of the warlord Kato Kiyomasa. The children represented a number of breweries in the region including this one. As the generations passed, the brewery left that representation behind and now is all about creating harmony with people through sake. While they’ve developed their own innovative processes, they rely on their natural senses to listen to the microorganisms to create harmony with people through sake.
