A well-known Japanese sake maker will start shipping from its new brewery in New York State on Monday.
Asahi Shuzo is the latest of several brewers of the alcoholic beverage to set up U.S. facilities on growing demand from American customers.
The company is based in Yamaguchi Prefecture, western Japan, and known for its “Dassai” brand. The U.S. brewery is its first outside Japan.
The company's U.S.-made products will hit local store shelves on Monday. A 720-milliliter bottle will go for just under 35 dollars.
The products are brewed from sake rice imported from Japan. But there are plans in the future to use grain from the state of Arkansas.
An industry group says the United States has around 20 sake breweries. A U.S. maker launched a large-scale facility in Arkansas in May.
