Origami Sake resides in the heart of U.S. rice country—with our home state accounting for more than 50% of the nation’s total rice production. Like our water quality, the combination of soil, terrain, and climate enable Arkansas to grow and us to source the quality of rice necessary to create truly special sake. 

Isbell Farms, our local growing partner has been farming rice exported around the globe for decades. Our farmers have perfected growing many varieties of rice suitable for sake brewing, known as sakamai, such as Omachi, Somai, and Yamada Nishiki, the most prized varietal of sake rice. Which means the best rice on the planet grows right in our backyard. And now we get to share that flavor with you. 

Sustainability and environmental awareness are a part of our mission but never at the expense of quality or flavor. We believe that we can produce the best-tasting sake in the United States that is also the most environmentally friendly. Origami will become the first Net-Zero certified sake maker in the U.S. through a commitment to solar energy, locally sourced rice, and the goal of being a zero-waste manufacturer. We’re committed to creating a great product and being great stewards of the environment.
