Akita has long been one of the leading rice-producing areas in Japan, and as the saying goes, "Akita, the land of rice, is also the land of sake," making it a true "kingdom of fine sake," outstanding in both the amount of sake produced and consumed.
Why not learn about "Akita sake", born in the rich environment brought about by the region's natural climate and geography, through a tasting experience where you will be taught directly by a local liquor store owner?
