Akitabare is the kind of sake one can drink enjoyably for hours at a stretch. Its subdued, understated refinement evokes a sense of the northern province where it is meticulously brewed. Pleasingly dry and quite mild, a well-crafted traditional sake.

ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
Akitabare Koshiki Junzukuri Northern Skies
"Koshiki Junzukuri" translates to "old style, pure process," which is fitting given that this sake is crafted using tools that are over 100 years old! It offers a delicate aroma of light spice and mineral notes, followed by a crisp, subtle sweetness with a touch of candy that gently fades into a lingering spiciness. The overall profile is clean, mild, and dry.
