What is Akita's sake "Yuki no Bijin"? A specially-fooded sake produced from a corner of an apartment building

I've heard that Akita's sake is delicious, but if you're going to try it, wouldn't you want to try something rare and hard to find?

In this article, we will explain in detail "Yuki no Bijin"

Who is Yuki's beauty?

Yukinobijin is a sake manufactured and sold by Akita Brewery Co., Ltd.

The water used for preparation is from a spring at the foot of Mt. Taihei, so it takes a two-hour round trip to pump it out, but since the water source is deep in the mountains, you may even encounter bears.

Akita Jozo Co., Ltd. is also particular about eliminating the use of sugars and acidulants and focusing on producing pure rice sake.

Yukino beauty and No. 6 yeast

Akita Brewing Co., Ltd. mainly uses Akita yeast to make you look beautiful, but among them, the 6th yeast is the most commonly used item.

The official name of yeast No. 6 Kyokai No. 6 , and it began when Oana Fujio, a national tax agency engineer, was collected as a high-quality yeast from the moromi of Shinsei Sake Brewery Co., Ltd., located in Akita Prefecture.

The yeast is cultivated and sold by the Japan Brewing Association, a public interest corporation, but No. 6 yeast has the characteristic of fermenting at temperatures as low as 10 degrees Celsius or lower, so it may give the impression that it is rather modest compared to the latest yeasts. Despite this, it has been loved for a long time.

Among Yukino Bijin, there are some amazing sakes that use this 6-size yeast, such as the "Junmai Daiginjo, 2022 edition" and "Junmai Ginjo Yamada Nishiki, 6-size yeast."

Furthermore, Shinsei Sake Brewery Co., Ltd. and Akita Brewery Co., Ltd. are not only connected to No. 6 yeast, but also "NEXT5," Akita breweries, and Kobayashi Tadahiko of Akita Brewery Co., Ltd. working together to brew sake with an eye on the next generation.

Sake brewing companies with breweries in Akita City not only brew high quality sake using the same #6 yeast, but also engage in new initiatives such as sake tasting parties and joint brewing, which is an irresistible trend for sake fans.

How to make

  3. Remove the seeds from the umeboshi and pound it with a knife.
  4. Add mackerel, mayonnaise, crushed peanuts, and pounded umeboshi to a bowl, mix, and serve in a bowl.
  5. Finish by sprinkling peanuts if you like.

This is a trendy snack using canned mackerel, and the recipe is not too difficult to make, so it can be said that it is an easy recipe to make.

Also, if you prefer, heat the peanuts in a toaster oven or something a little and the texture will be even better. Add too much mayonnaise and it will interfere with Yuki's beautiful beauty's delicate taste, so make sure to measure the amount before adding it.
