Akebono Sake Brewery

【Brewing the Light of Dawn】 'Akebono Shuzo' depicts the climate of Aizu and a sincere dialogue

Located in Aizubakushita, surrounded by majestic mountains, 'Akebono Shuzo' has been crafting sake with warmth centered around family since its establishment in 1904. This brewery is now attracting attention as a pioneer opening new horizons for Japanese sake through a single ray of light called 'Tenmei'.

■ The momentary brilliance and transparency delivered by 'Tenmei'

The name of the representative brand 'Tenmei' embodies a wish for the dawn of a new era. Its flavor is the very essence of the pure air produced by Aizu's harsh winters.

• Commitment to thorough freshness: Through 'fermentation in a cool environment' and 'careful pressing', we bring out the inherent umami of the rice while achieving an astonishingly transparent sharpness.
• Enjoying the seasons: From refreshing unpasteurized sake to pasteurized sake that gains maturity over time, the diverse expressions that accompany the changing seasons captivate the hearts of drinkers.

■ Continuing the challenge of 'Aizu's terroir'

With a young toji at the helm, Akebono Shuzo respects tradition while never forgetting free thinking. Their commitment to local farmers and the thorough use of Aizu-grown rice and water truly condenses the vitality of this land into every drop. Each cup is filled with the warmth of the maker and hope for Aizu's future.

A passionate sake that evolves while not being swept away by the times. Would you like to experience a refreshing cup that feels like looking up at the dawn sky?
