(カワダ調べ)
Tenmei era (1781.4.2-1789.1.25)
The label is more fancy than last year. It's very summery.
The brewery name "Akebono" is derived from a passage in "The Pillow Book", "Haru wa Akebono", and "Tenmei" was chosen as a synonym for the brand name!
Akebono has a history of three generations of female brewers, which is rare for a sake brewery.
Since 2011, the 6th generation, Koichi Suzuki (male brewer) has led the brewery, which includes many female staff members, and has been making sake with a lively spirit.
