Akika Shuzo

Akika Shuzo is a brewery located in Nose Town, Osaka Prefecture, and is a rare producer in Japan that practices the unique philosophy of "integrated production from rice cultivation to sake brewing" (Nojo Ikkan).
Committed to circular organic farming, they use no pesticides or chemical fertilizers, instead creating compost from fermented rice husks, bran, and sake lees to cultivate their own sake rice such as Yamadanishiki and Omachi.
The sake produced is limited exclusively to Junmai-shu (at Junmai Ginjo level or higher), characterized by a deep flavor where powerful rice umami harmonizes with sharp, crisp acidity.
Under the conviction of brewing the "terroir," their sake, created in symbiosis with the nature of Nose, continues to captivate gourmets around the world as the ultimate food-pairing sake.
