Heaven of Tipsy Delight
Akitabare’s finest daiginjo, aged twenty years at 38°F in the bottle, is suffused with a golden glow. Aging has bestowed depth and refinement, and imbued its flavor with a hint of figs and honey.

Akita Brewing Company
Akita Prefecture

Akitabare is brewed in the northern Tohoku region, in an area with the highest per-capita sake consumption in Japan. The brewery takes pride in its traditional methods, allowing fermentation to proceed at low temperatures for up to 25 days before pressing. The result is a family of clean, pared-down sakes with excellent balance and structure. Much of the work is done by hand in small lots, and some of the equipment has been in continuous use for nearly a century.
