Origami Sake
This Arkansas brewery uses 100% American resources, from the mineral water of the Ouachita Mountains to the locally grown sake rice of Isbell Farms. However, their expertise in sake can be traced to Japan, where Vice President Ben Bell completed a two-year brewing residency with Nanbu Bijin before teaming up with Matt Bell — no relation — at Origami Sake. Matt, the brewery’s president and CEO, fell in love with sake while working as a wine specialist. Origami Sake is not just a brewery, but also a research center for sake. They are determined to lead the rediscovery of sake in America.
