Discover the cult Akita brewery - Yamamoto! Owner and Master Brewer Tomo Yamamoto produces some of the most interesting sakes, and more importantly, delicious, and he is shaking things up in Akita Prefecture. ✨

A relative newcomer to the Akita sake scene, former rock band manager in his younger days Tomofumi returned home to look after his family business. Fiercely determined to rock the sake world and raise the bar in his own business, Yamamoto san seized control and manages each step of the brewing process, from the initial milling of the rice through to the final pressing of the sake.

Yamamoto-san clearly has the talent. Since taking over the brewery in 2007, they produce three times more sake than before he started and their sake is always sold out well before the end of the brewery year. 90% of Yamamoto brand sake is sold in specialist sake shops and 10% consumed locally by avid Akita supporters.

Yamamoto is also part of "The Next Five" - a band of give Akita brewers whose aim is to create a new sake scene for today's younger generation. The Yamamoto brand of sake was launched in 2007. A series of premium Junmai Ginjo sake all 3 we import are brewed with the same rice – Akitasakekomachi to the same of seimaibuai of 55%, but each with a distinct aroma and palate, stemming from the different yeasts used for each label. In a very short space of time, Yamamoto’s modern styles of sake have reached cult status amongst sake afficionados in Japan.

Yamamoto sakes are available online and in-store! If you haven’t made Friday plans, join us this Fri 29 Jul from 4pm onwards for a Yamamoto flight of 3 glasses for just $40!

𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞-𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐤 𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 💯 Generations of sake makers make their sakes the traditional way, but in the recent years, a small group of sake makers are making new waves. Inspired by the international appeal of wine, the breweries behind well-known labels Hakugakusen and Banshu Ikkon have started adopting new methods such as the use of wine yeast as well as barrel-ageing in Mizunara, Japanese oak! The sakes in this Plus Age series are aged in barrels to achieve a deep taste that cannot be imitated by any other method. Sake, which has a mellow aroma due to barrel aging can develop a rich aroma that ripens by further aging and changes to a beautiful amber-like color.

Our team has tried these single-cask sakes and we absolutely loved it. Discover these stunning expressions and enjoy with protein-rich dishes and company of good friends!

The 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐮 𝐈𝐤𝐤𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐥𝐮𝐬 𝐀𝐠𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟗 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐦𝐚𝐢 𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐣𝐨 is aged 11 months in Mizunara barrels, and has potential to age in the bottle for the next few years. Soft, smooth with notes of stewed fruit, vanilla and spices, and umami!

𝐇𝐚𝐤𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐤𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐥𝐮𝐬 𝐀𝐠𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟗 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐦𝐚𝐢 𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐣𝐨 is complex with sweetness and bitterness from the Mizunara, which give the sake depth. Spicy, smoky and burnt aromas from the Mizunara combine with the acidity and oily impressions from teh sake.

Available online and in-store. Free 1-hr delivery on orders above $250.

Liven up your weekend with some lively spritzy namazake! 🍶
Namazake refers to unpasteurised sakes - you can identify this on the labels with nama or 生. After brewing, most sakes are heated to kill bacteria and deactivate enzymes to make them shelf stable. Namazakes skip this, so the sakes are still alive, quite like the natural wines of the sake world. They're lively, bold and often sharper than usual sakes you might know.

Dive right in with these picks:
🍶 𝗞𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗶𝘇𝘂𝗺𝗶 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗺𝗮𝗶 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗷𝗼 𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗮: Robust, tawny, full-flavoured, and dangerously easy!
🍶 𝗠𝗶𝗸𝗼𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘂 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗺𝗮𝗶 𝗚𝗶𝗻𝗷𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗸𝗶 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗮 𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗮 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗵𝘂: Brewed with Sankeinishiki. Prominent nose of cherry and pineapples.
🍶 𝗦𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗬𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗶 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗺𝗮𝗶 𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗵𝘂: Pronounced umami and lively acidity!
