This Junmai Daiginjo is made with Yamadanishiki rice polished to 40%, resulting in the highest quality sake in their collection. It offers a delicate melon-like aroma, a well-rounded flavor, and a clean, sharp finish. In a time when many breweries are exploring different rice and yeast combinations to create unique Sakes, this one stands out for its simply delicious and high quality.
They are a brewery that stays true to their terroir. Terroir is a French term that refers to the unique natural environment where a product, such as wine, coffee, or sake, is made. It includes factors like climate, soil, water, and local geography, all of which influence the final taste and character of the product. In their hometown of Kochi, this brewery is loved by locals and well-known by almost everyone. Their sake gives you a gentle, comforting feeling—gentle, mild, and simply a pleasure to drink. When you want to sit back and enjoy a good sake, this is the one. Whenever I feel tired, I find myself reaching for Akitora, and the faces of the brewers come to mind.
