I’m speaking with Todd Bellomy Founder & Brewer at Farthest Star Sake based in Medfield, MA located in the Boston area.
Todd has spent a great deal of time in Japan where his love for sake began. He was a sword-making apprentice turned intern at Asahi Shuzo Sake Brewing Company before working for Boston Beer Company for 8 years.
He then jumped over to sake again in 2014 and has never looked back. He now owns a warehouse where he brews two types of sake and serves them at the taproom.
In A Strange Land their flagship Junmai sake is made with Yamada Nishki rice grown by Isbell Farms in Arkansas. It has fruit flavors and a peppery, medium-dry finish.
Mountains On The Moon their flagship nigori or unfiltered sake is made from the same rice and is fruity and sweet with clean acidity.
I love learning about SAKE and the new world of sake brewers outside of Japan and Todd, well, he knows many of them. I’ll be leaning in on sake next year and look forward to building my relationship with Todd and beyond.
Kanpai!
