Established in 1903, the founder was a close friend of Yataro Iwasaki, the founder of Mitsubishi, also from Aki city. Akitora is made with the pure subsoil flow of Akano River that is famous in the region for its delicious sweetfish. The water has a mellow flavor that offers a more rounded, soft approached to dry sake. The brewery's motto is "Harmony with food." They want to create sake that can be enjoyed on its own, and can also offer the true sake flavor when drunk with food.

This sake is a blend of "AKITORA Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki 50%" and "AKITORA Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki 40%", showing a highly refined, comforting sweetness with fruity overtones. With no lingering unpleasantness, it has a stylish, sophisticated finish. Enjoy during the early and middle part of a meal.

Light appetizers of chicken, salads, sashimi or carpaccio of white-meat fish, and dishes served with ponzu, lemon, or lime.
