The Akashi Sake Brewery

Like the region’s symbolic “Tai” (meaning sea bream in Japanese) that navigates the arduous straits of Akashi’s coast, our family-run brewery has survived against the fierce currents of time and change since 1856. Embodying this spirit, they persist in their commitment to producing exceptional sakes, created from local ingredients.

Pioneered by several generations, each Akashi-Tai sake is a reflection of the Yonezawa family’s undying love for their profession, now guided by our Toji, Sake Master, Kimio Yonezawa. Located in the port city of Akashi in southwest Japan, the brewery continues to produce sakes and liqueurs, as it has for over a century.
