About the brewery : The history of the Akashi brewery goes back to the end of the Tokugawa period (1600-1867), when the factory that originally produced soy sauce decided in 1918 to devote itself to the transformation of rice into sake. Making the most of what the beautiful environment of the Hyogo region could offer her, she began to produce sake whose quality only improved over time. Today, it is an international recognition that earns it reputation and allows it to develop a wide range of very qualitative products.
