Founded in 2005, Joto\u2019s mission is to serve as a bridge between Japanese artisanal sak\u00e9 and the American market.\u00a0 We aim to bring the world of artisanal sak\u00e9 to life without \u201cdumbing it down,\u201d \u201cAmericanizing it,\u201d or just making it cheesy.\r\nJoto is Japanese for \u201chighest level\u201d and describes the makers of our sak\u00e9 and our aspirations as their importer. We are the exclusive importer for multi-generational, family-owned breweries whom we identify and approach after trying their sake in Japan and reading about their brands in Japanese food and beverage publications.\u00a0 Our jizake (local) breweries are located throughout Japan, producing sak\u00e9 in small batches with locally-raised indigenous rice varieties, offering flavors and styles ideal for a range of cuisines. Our passion for breweries that have rich and wonderful histories makes them fun to learn about and explore.\r\nJoto offers a unique journey into the heart of the world of sake. Our bottles feature English-language labels with producer names, locations and helpful tasting notes. We conduct educational seminars and events throughout the country with our distributors and customers, local businesses and organizations and other trade groups. |
