AKABU JUNMAI 赤武 純米酒720ml
Brewed by Akabu Shuzo (赤武酒造) in Morioka, Iwate Prefecture, Akabu Junmai (赤武 純米酒) represents the essence of the brewery’s youthful and energetic philosophy — “to make sake that moves people’s hearts.”
Crafted from local Iwate-grown sake rice polished to 60%, it delivers a beautiful balance between freshness and umami. The aroma opens with hints of apple, pear, and white rice, leading into a smooth palate that’s lightly fruity yet clean and dry. Crisp acidity and subtle sweetness come together in perfect harmony, creating a sake that’s versatile and deeply satisfying.
