About
Known by its brand name Takashimizu (High Clear Water), this cooperative brewery was formed from the merger of 12 Akita breweries during wartime consolidation. Despite its large-scale origins, Takashimizu has earned quality recognition with competition medals for its ginjo and daiginjo expressions. The brewery showcases the rich, full character of Akita sake at accessible prices.
