Yukinobijin, meaning 'Snow Beauty,' is the sole brand of Akita Jozo, a brewery founded in 1919 in Akita City that has focused exclusively on this single label since 2002. The name plays on Akita's dual reputation for deep snowfall and celebrated beauties, and signals a return to the origin point of pure rice brewing with an insistence on sake that is straightforwardly delicious. Small-batch production, handcrafted koji in Akita cedar rooms, and the Akita-style long-term low-temperature fermentation method lasting over 30 days define the house's uncompromising approach.
