[Akita Prefecture] Who is Yuki's beauty? Detailed explanation of the special sake produced from a corner of the apartment

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 about Yuki no Bijin, which is recommended for such people.

Who is Yuki's beauty?

Yukino Bijin is a sake produced and sold by Akita Jozo Co., Ltd., located in a corner of the Narayama apartment building in Akita City.

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 Jozo Co., Ltd. mainly uses Akita yeast to brew Yukino Bijin, and the most commonly used yeast is No. 6 yeast.

Yeast No. 6, whose official name is Kyokai No. 6 yeast, was created by Mr. Fujio Oana, a National Tax Agency engineer, as an excellent yeast from the moromi of Shinsei Sake Brewery Co., Ltd., also located in Akita Prefecture. It all started when it was collected.

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.

Yukino Bijin has a wonderful lineup of sake such as ``Junmai Daiginjo Reiwa 4 Exhibition Specification'' and ``Junmai Ginjo Yamada Nishiki No. 6 Yeast Super Spicy'' that use No. 6 yeast.

In addition, the connection between Shinsei Sake Brewery Co., Ltd. and Akita Jozo Co., Ltd. is not limited to No. 6 yeast, but as part of Akita's brewery management group ``NEXT5,'' they aim to brew sake with an eye on the next generation. Tadahiko Kobayashi of Jozo Co., Ltd. is working with us.

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.

Snack recipes suitable for snowy beauties

When sake fans get their hands on delicious sake, they want to make a quick snack and drink it right away, but we'd like to introduce you to ``Canned Mackerel with Plum Meat White Dressing,'' a snack that can be made in no time and is perfect for beautiful women on the snow.

Ingredients (for 1 person)

  • Canned boiled mackerel (1 can)
  • Mayonnaise (1 and a half tablespoons)
  • Peanuts (20g)
  • Pickled plums (1 piece)

How to make

  1. Crush the peanuts coarsely
  2. Separate the canned mackerel into the juice and meat, and wipe off the moisture from the meat with kitchen paper.
  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.

If you like, you can heat the peanuts a little in a toaster oven to bring out the aroma and improve the texture.

If you add too much mayonnaise, it will interfere with the delicate flavor of Yuki no Bijin, so be sure to measure the amount properly before adding it.
