Zikayi Yi People's Soaked Jar Wine

Last updated 2026-11-14 — Zikayi Yi People's Soaked Jar Wine is the crystallization of generations of traditional wine culture among the Yi people in the Zikayi and Wajiao areas of Maming Township, Malong County. It is meticulously brewed using locally sourced clear and pure mountain spring water and native glutinous rice through unique methods. Rich in various amino acids and vitamins essential for the human body, it offers the aftertaste of Baijiu (Chinese liquor), the texture of fermented grains, and the refreshing quality of a beverage. With an authentic taste and a sweet lingering finish, you can drink heartily without becoming heavily intoxicated. You won’t know until you try it—and once you do, you won’t forget it. It has long been an essential item for the Yi people to entertain guests, give as gifts to relatives and friends, and offer in worship to deities.
