Asabiraki

The brand name "Asabiraki" is attributed to a poem in the Manyoshu and is derived from a pillow word (makurakotoba) for a poem about a ship rowing out in the early morning. It features traditional brewing techniques cultivated in the home of Nanbu Toji and brewing using the underground water of "Daiji Shimizu," selected as one of the 100 Famous Waters of Heisei.
The delicate and soft mouthfeel from soft water brewing harmonizes with the tanrei taste from Tsuki-haze koji making, bringing out the umami of Iwate Prefecture rice. The highly fragrant and elegant sake quality brewed by long-term low-temperature fermentation has received high acclaim, such as winning consecutive awards at the National New Sake Appraisal.
With a flavor design that emphasizes compatibility with local Iwate food culture, especially seafood and mountain produce, it is rooted in the region as a sake that accompanies meals. It is a brand where the skills of the Nanbu Toji, brewed by a Contemporary Master Craftsman who continues to innovate while protecting tradition, shine.
