Azakura Sake Brewery is a traditional sake brewery located in Yokote City, Akita Prefecture, and was founded in 1886.
 The snowy climate of the region plays a crucial role in the sake brewing process.

At this brewery, a variety of sake is brewed using locally sourced rice.
 Among them, "Azakura Junmai Daiginjo" is particularly popular, known for its deep flavor and smooth mouthfeel that capture the essence of umami.
 With a rice polishing ratio of 50%, it offers a high-quality fragrance characteristic of a junior daiginjo sake.
 This sake pairs well with light dishes, and it is recommended to enjoy it alongside Yokote yakisoba.
 The brewery employs the unique Akita-style cold brewing method, characterized by long-term low-temperature fermentation, which is highly regarded for its meticulousness.
 This leads to the creation of sakes with a harmonious blend of floral aromas and rich flavors that never become monotonous with each sip.
Additionally, the "Kamakura Seisen," a regular sake, is also quite popular.
 This 180ml bottle has an alcohol content of 14.8%, and upon opening, it releases a rich and inviting aroma.
