Akitora is loved by everyone. They embody the spirit of jizake (local sake) by using local rice and water from the Akano River to create their distinct Kochi Sake. While the sake from this region is typically light and dry, Akitora is versatile and can be enjoyed both on its own or with food. One of the unique aspects of their brewing process is their use of classical music, adding a touch of whimsy and dedication to their quest of making exceptional sake. Their sake is a blend of humor and dedication.

They use mostly local rice and water for brewing, constantly monitoring and carefully checking the rice’s condition to be at its best quality.

Akitora is very famous locally, winning many awards, including for Junmai and hot sake (atsukan).

From the second-floor brewing room, you can see the ocean. Surrounded by nature, they craft sake in a relaxed and peaceful environment.

The owner's daughter, Yu-san, is now helping to manage the brewery, and the whole family works together to run it.
