Akita Brewing Company likes to keep it as old-school as the century-old soaking basin and steaming vessel for rice. While they incorporate modern advances, they refuse to take shortcuts or increase volume at the cost of quality. Akitabare is located way up north in the Akita Prefecture, which allows for a long, slow, cool fermentation—up to 25 days! As a Daiginjo with a high percentage of polishing (50% or less), Winter Blossom is top grade, small batch, handmade Sake built on local Gin no Sei rice and Akita Yukiguni yeast. It is clean, full, fragrant yet delicate with notes of apple, honey, and flowers while expressing the Tohoku region’s rivers, forests, and coastline. Pair with egg dishes, cooked white fish, and chicken dishes. 15.5% ABV.
