Azakura Shuzo · 阿櫻酒造
Azakura 阿櫻
Founded in 1886. The brand name comes from "Azakura Castle," an alternate name for Yokote Castle, the symbol of Yokote City. Brewing is led by Toshio Terui, a master of the Sannai brewing lineage — one of Japan's five great regional brewing traditions — using Akita-style cold, slow fermentation. The brewery's philosophy is "having no fixed approach is our approach," brewing exclusively with local Akita rice. The current president is Akihiro Nobukawa.
