Clean and dry with umami

Yukiotoko “Yeti” Honjozo uses Gohyakumangoku sake rice for sophistication and Koshiibuki table rice for umami. Their soft, filtered snowmelt well water and Niigata’s cold temperatures require a slow fermentation. A bit of brewer’s alcohol is carefully added towards the end of fermentation to melt and release the aromatics. The result is a clean sake that pairs well with a wide range of foods, from light to heavy.

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.
