A Japanese sake maker known for its Dassai brand opened a brewery on Saturday in Hyde Park in New York State.
Asahi Shuzo, based in Yamaguchi Prefecture, western Japan, built the facility. Its Dassai Blue brand sake will hit New York store shelves on Monday. A 720-milliliter bottle will go for just under 35 dollars.
The brewery says it will use sake rice imported from Japan at first, but there are plans to use Arkansas-grown rice in the future.
Asahi Shuzo CEO Sakurai Kazuhiro said at a news conference that he wants to increase the presence of Japanese sake in the United States.
Sake is growing in popularity in the United States. In May, a US firm opened a large-scale sake brewery in Arkansas. An industry group says there are now more than 20 such establishments in the country. The New York Times has published a report stating that "Sake is booming in America."
