Brewed to commemorate the appointment of Iwao Kodate as the new brewmaster of Akitaharu in spring 2021 (Reiwa 3), this limited-edition sake is released twice a year—once as a namazake (unpasteurized) and once pasteurized. While the label boldly and humorously reflects the new brewmaster's appearance, the sake itself is refined and traditional in character. It offers a gentle ginjo aroma, mellow acidity, and the soft umami typical of the “Gin no Sei” rice. This sake also features the rare use of AK-1, a yeast developed in Akita, which pairs beautifully with the rice. With its calm, balanced profile, it’s an ideal companion for meals—approachable and quietly elegant.

Akita

Guided by the philosophy of "Fueki Ryuko"—honoring tradition while embracing innovation—we cherish time-honored techniques such as koji-buta (traditional koji-making), long-term low-temperature fermentation, and the use of wooden vats and iron kettles. At the same time, we incorporate advanced brewing methods like ginjo-koji, controlled water absorption, and bottle pasteurization, along with modern refrigeration systems such as thermal tanks and cold storage containers. Through this balance of tradition and technology, we continuously strive to enhance the quality of our sake. Our toji (master brewer), Mitsugu Kato, upholds the spirit of wajo—harmony in brewing—to craft exceptional sake.
