Akishika Shuzo was founded in Osaka prefecture in 1886 and under the present 6th generation Kuramoto [Brewery Owner] this tiny brewery is creating some of Japan’s most exceptional and finest sake. Hiroaki Oku is both Kuramoto and also Toji [Master Brewer] at Akishika and his dedication and skill in creating quality sake shows in every bottle.

This unique sake is made by creating the 'Moto' or starter and then making just one addition (Hatsuzoe) of rice, water and koji (as opposed to three additions normally). The result is a sake full of flavour and acidity, with a sweet and savoury edge that lingers on the palate.
