Yuki
No Bosha
Founded in 1903 and managed by the fifth-generation
son, Kotaro Saito, the Saiya Brewing Company has won eleven
gold medals and three silvers from 1990 to 2005 at Japan’s
National New Saké Competition. This makes it the fourth
most-awarded brewery at the competition. The Saitos were also
the first brewers to produce a certified organic saké
in Japan.
Yuki No Bosha, “Cabin in the Snow,” is a celebration
of the northern Akita region of Japan, one of the most important
saké-producing areas. Yuki No Bosha sakés demonstrate
a great balance between fruitier and spicier notes. The brewery
primarily uses indigenous Akita Komachi and Gin No
Sei rice, but also utilizes Yamada Nishiki
from Hyogo for some daiginjo’s. The makers of
Yuki No Bosha also produce the prestigious Yuri Masamune brand.
