AKITA SEISHU
Brewery: Akita Seishu Co., Ltd.
Founded: 1865
Founded in 1865 as Yamato Shuzoten, Akita Seishu's sake brewing policy over its 150-year history has been to grow rice locally, brew sake with a local flavor, and endeavor to make sake that is loved by the community. In recent years, the brewery has focused on producing Junmai sake mainly using the traditional Akita-Style Kimoto method that was popular at the time of the company's founding.
AKITA
The Natural Environment
Dewatsuru Brewery is situated in the mountainous region of southern Akita Prefecture, surrounded by the Dewa Hills, which provide an abundant supply of pure spring water. Just as Akita's four distinct seasons and humid climate are ideal for rice cultivation, the area's heavy snowfalls and cold winter temperatures are perfect for brewing sake.
