Simply divine

Akabu Brewing Company always wants their sake to represent Iwate prefecture, and their junmai daiginjo is a perfect reflection of this. The elegant floral and melon scent is like the white clouds floating over Iwate, and the creamy vanilla flavor feels like a calm afternoon under the cherry blossoms. A soft nuttiness on the finish pulls it all together into a divine drink that everyone should try.

Akabu Brewing Company

First established in 1896, Akabu Brewing Company is located in Morioka City, Iwate prefecture. This land is known for its chilly weather, which is fortunately also fantastic for sake brewing. The brewers make sake to suit the times, and do so with passion, love and guts. They aim to brew sake that represents the spirit of Iwate without compromise, something that can be passed down and enjoyed for ages to come. The brewers are generally of a younger age, but never forget their past by fusing traditional techniques with the latest microbial theory to brew top tier sake.
