Yamagata Sakata Breweries

Sakata City is a port town at the mouth of the Mogami River, with sake making characterized by the high-quality rice of the Shonai plain and the water of the Chokai mountain range. Many sake have a clear mouthfeel with rice sweetness and umami layered over, excelling in pairing with cold codfish cuisine and the seafood of the Shonai coast. With a history of prosperity through the Kitamaebune trading ships, a local culture that deeply links food and sake remains alive today.

Sakata's sake uses Shonai plain rice and Chokai mountain water to produce a clear mouthfeel with rice sweetness and umami.
