description The use of interspecific hybrids during the industrial fermentation process has been well established, positioning the frontier of advancement in brewing to capitalize on the potential of <i>Saccharomyces</i> hybridization. Interspecific yeast hybrids used in modern monoculture inoculations benefit from a wide range of volatile metabolites that broaden the organoleptic complexity. This is the first report of sake brewing by <i>Saccharomyces arboricola</i> and its hybrids. <i>S. arboricola</i> x <i>S. cerevisiae</i> direct-mating generated cryotolerant interspecific hybrids which increased yields of ethanol and ethyl hexanoate compared to parental strains, important flavor attributes of fine Japanese ginjo sake rice wine. Hierarchical clustering heatmapping with principal component analysis for metabolic profiling was used in finding low levels of endogenous amino/organic acids clustered <i>S. arboricola</i> apart from the <i>S. cerevisiae</i> industrial strains. In sake fermentations, hybrid strains showed a mosaic profile of parental strains, while metabolic analysis suggested <i>S. arboricola</i> had a lower amino acid net uptake than <i>S. cerevisiae.</i> Additionally, this research found an increase in ethanolic fermentation from pyruvate and increased sulfur metabolism. Together, these results suggest <i>S. arboricola</i> is poised for in-depth metabolomic exploration in sake fermentation.
