Enjoy under the sunshine

Amabuki Brewing Company’s signature flower yeast sake is mixed with blood orange, lemon, passion fruit, ume fruit, grapefruit and sugar. The bright red color comes from a polyphenol in the pulp of blood oranges that bathed in plenty of sunshine. Although Amabuki normally uses Japanese words like “Fujin” (god of the wind) and “Raijin” (god of lightning), this time they borrowed the Western name Apollon, after the sun god Apollo.

Amabuki Brewing Company

Founded in 1688, this brewery was named after Mt. Amabuki northeast of the brewery. Today, they are constantly learning from the legacy of their brewing tradition and create new things with gratitude for the natural bounty they are surrounded with—and specialize in using flower yeast to brew their sake. They are passionate about producing a variety of flavors from rice and water alone, and simply want you to try different kinds of delicious sake. Their master brewer Shinji Hinoshita was the youngest toji at the time he got certified, and has produced many sake winning accolades worldwide.
