Tenmei era (1781.4.2-1789.1.25)
Akebono (lake monster said to be one of the most wicked and powerful fish in Japan)
The label is fancy and nice. The taste is also very ricey. The first 2025 new sake brewed with very early rice.
The brewery's name "Akebono" comes from the passage "Haru wa Akebono" in "The Pillow Book" 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 sixth generation, Koichi Suzuki (male brewer) has led the brewery, which includes many female staff members, to create a vibrant brewery.
