YAEGAKI
Corporation of USA
YAEGAKI has been producing authentic sake since 1987 in U.S. As
the U.S. Sake market has matured and people are looking for high
quality sake, YAEGAKI Corporation of USA (YCU) was established
in 1999 in Vernon, California. Thanks to strong support of consumers,
our business has grown accordingly. As part of our continuous
effort to provide high quality sake, YCU will open a new brewery
in Los Angeles in October 17, 2003. At YCU, we continue to be
committed to providing authentic and a high quality sake to consumers
in the U.S.
Trusting the power of a single grain
The history of YAEGAKI dates back to 1666. The company started
off as a small liquor shop located in Banshu area or the present
Himeji City of Hyogo Prefecture. This liquor shop used to release
sake "YAEGAKI" which was named after the famous classic poem compiled
in Kojiki (Record of Ancient Matters). Since then, YAEGAKI has
progressed steadily by developing newer technologies and various
businesses ranging from brewing business in the early Edo Period
to the present-day biotechnology business. Throughout the long
period, our motto is "The Power of A Single Grain" As we brew
sake by trusting the power of a single rice grain, we also commit
ourselves to fostering each employee and each product.
