Established in 1717 and located in Uonuma city (Niigata prefecture), one of the snowiest regions in Japan, the Aoki Brewery is brewing sake for over 300 years. While Niigata prefecture is famous for Tanrei-Karakuchi, the light, elegant and dry sake style, Aoki Brewery is aiming to create Tanrei-Umakuchi, remaining the pure umami of sake rice.
Well accompanied with Uonuma cuisine, strongly flavored with salt and soy sauce for the locals who work in earnest with sweat, and to preserve fish and vegetables during the long winter, their products such as Cup Sake Yuki Otoko own the sharp and delicate Niigata sake characteristics. But at the same time Aoki Brewery is aiming to bring out the best of the aftertaste of umami of the rice itself, which gives their products fresh and new taste every time you enjoy.
