”Joto” means “highest quality,” which is the guiding principle in everything we do. We want to act as a bridge between the Japanese sake world and the U.S. market. We carefully select all of our producers and all of their products. Although we are highly focused, we aim to cover the complete range of regions, types of sake, and styles. We also focus on breweries with unique stories, whether it be their history, technique, ingredients, or style.
