Regional characteristic
- Aomori's sake draws on the rich natural environs and ingredients created through ongoing research and development.
Sake brewed with mineral-rich groundwater from Shirakami-Sanchi and Hakkoda has a deep flavor.
In addition, many unique types of brewing rice have been independently developed there.
"Mahoroba yeast", developed independently by Aomori Prefecture, gives Japanese sake a fruity aroma that suggests apples and bananas. - Many breweries in Aomori Prefecture are long-established companies that have been in operation since the area was known as Tsugaru Domain, with brewing techniques unique to this northern region having been passed down for generations.
People in Tsugaru are often described as "joppari" (stubborn or obstinate), with that sense of bravado being alive and well in Aomori sake.
That attitude of "not making compromises" and "pursuing flavors found nowhere else" has led to unique brews made with care. These are the foremost features of sake from Aomori.
