Brewed by Akabu Shuzo (赤武酒造) in Morioka, Iwate Prefecture, Akabu Junmai Ginjo Hiire (赤武 純米吟醸 火入れ) captures the youthful passion and precision of one of Japan’s most exciting new-generation breweries.

Made with locally grown Iwate sake rice polished to 50%, this sake expresses bright aromas of melon, green apple, and white flowers. The palate is silky and refined, with gentle sweetness balanced by clean acidity and a crisp, refreshing finish. Pasteurised once (hiire) to stabilise flavour while retaining vivid freshness, it embodies the best of both classic and contemporary sake styles.
