When we started Tsuki Sake, we had a simple dream: to bring exceptional Japanese-inspired sake to the heart of Utah. Today, as we analyze the 2024 sales data showing Tsuki Sake commanding approximately 15% of Utah's sake market, we're overwhelmed with gratitude. This isn't just a story about market share – it's a testament to Utah's incredible support for local craft beverages and the amazing community that has embraced our passion for premium sake.
Your Overwhelming Support for Local Craft Sake
The numbers tell an incredible story of local support. Our Harvest Moon White Peach Nigori leads with 7.49% of market share, while our ultra premium Super Moon Junmai Daiginjo holds 6.80%. But behind these figures are thousands of individual choices made by Utahns to support a local dream, and for that, we are profoundly grateful.

Super Moon Junmai Daiginjo: A Labor of Love
Our Junmai Daiginjo represents everything we love about traditional sake crafting. As the first Junmai Daiginjo produced by Utahns for Utahns, we knew we were taking a risk. Would Utah appreciate the subtle complexity of a premium sake that takes significantly more time and resources to produce? Your response has been a resounding yes.
- What makes it special: "Junmai" means pure rice sake with no added alcohol
- The crafting process: Each batch requires rice polished to at least 50% of its original size
- Flavor profile: Delicate, floral notes with a clean, elegant finish
- Local impact: Put Sake into the spotlight in Utah as the first sake featured at local festivals and the first sake served on tap! (See Post Office Place)
Harvest Moon White Peach Nigori: Flavors of Utah Meet Traditional Japanese Nigori Sake
When we introduced our Harvest Moon White Peach Nigori, we were nervous about blending traditional nigori sake with modern flavor profiles. But Utah's adventurous spirit and openness to innovation proved us wrong again.
- The inspiration: Combining Utah's peach harvests with traditional nigori brewing methods
- Production process: Carefully balanced to maintain the authentic nigori texture while incorporating natural peach essences
- Community feedback: Your suggestions at local tasting events helped perfect the recipe and make Harvest Moon a favorite of Utah sake drinkers
Looking Forward: Our Commitment to Utah
As we continue to grow, we pledge to:
- Maintain our quality standards that Utah has come to expect
- Continue innovating while respecting traditional sake-making methods
- Create more local jobs in the craft beverage industry by bringing production to Salt Lake City
- Expand our community engagement and educational programs
- Develop new products inspired by Utah's unique culture and ingredients
