The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1666 in Himeji, Hyogo, Yaegaki has been brewing traditional sake for over 350 years. Combining ancestral methods with modern brewing technology, they are highly regarded for creating sakes that capture the true essence of Japanese craftsmanship.

How it is made

Crafted by Yaegaki in Hyogo prefecture, a region celebrated for its pristine water and high-quality sake rice. The sake is coarsely filtered to retain the natural rice sediments, creating its signature cloudy appearance and rich texture.
