“Yamadanishiki”, the raw material for “ROGA”, is grown in Sacramento in northern California. The fields in this region are rich in minerals and blessed with high-quality water flowing from the mountains to the north, so rice cultivation has been popular for a long time. In addition, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the climate is close to the northern mountainous area of Mt. Rokko in Hyogo Prefecture, which is the hometown of
Yamadanishiki, making it the perfect land for cultivating
Yamadanishiki. Through joint research between farmers and rice mills in Sacramento, small quantities of “Yamadanishiki” are now being produced, expanding the possibilities of American sake.

Yaegaki Corporation of USA, the overseas base of Yaegaki Sake Brewery Co., Ltd., a pioneer in American sake, was established in 1999 as a joint venture with Yaegaki. In order for American sake to be enjoyed not only by Japanese people living in the United States but also by a wide range of local people, we have continued to challenge ourselves for over 20 years while preserving traditional sake brewing. The traditional taste that has been passed down through generations has been embraced by the local food culture, and it has become a pioneer in the sake brewing industry in America.
Yaegaki Sake Brewery Co., Ltd. and Yaegaki Corporation of USA hope that the globalization of sake will emerge in the political and cultural exchanges between Japan and the United States, and that “sake” will become increasingly instrumental in mutual exchange, and that through opportunities like this, We will continue to contribute to spreading Japan’s sake culture around the world.
