【The light of dawn】 'Akebono Sake Brewery' depicts the climate of Aizu and sincere dialogue

Located in Aizubakushita Town, surrounded by majestic mountains, 'Akebono Sake Brewery' has been crafting sake with warmth centered around family since its establishment in 1904. This brewery is now gaining attention as a pioneer opening up new horizons for sake through its signature brand 'Tenmei'.

■ The momentary brilliance and transparency delivered by 'Tenmei'

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

  • Commitment to thorough freshness: Through 'fermentation in a cool environment' and 'careful pressing', it draws out the inherent umami of the rice while achieving an astonishingly transparent crispness.
  • 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'

Centered around a young toji (master brewer), Akebono Sake Brewery respects tradition while never forgetting free thinking. Their commitment to locally sourced rice and water, walking alongside local farmers, is a process that condenses the vitality of this land into every drop. Each cup is filled with the warmth of the makers and hope for the future of Aizu.

A passionate sake that evolves continuously without being swept away by the times. Would you like to experience a refreshing cup that feels like looking up at the dawn sky?
