Sake Makers

Wyeast Laboratories, Inc. produces one strain of 100% Pure Liquid Yeast™ suitable for the production of sake.

Award-winning home and professional sake makers have discovered the “100% Pure Liquid Yeast Difference™" in the flavor, aroma and overall quality of their beverages.

The Brewer/Winemaker Microbiologists at Wyeast recommend the following strain for sake:
