The Abiragawa project is celebrating it’s fifth anniversary this year. From the 1st of April, the 2022 batch of Abiragawa will be available in stores and online. As the ferment used in this years batch of was changed (a blend of 901 and Akita Konno 35), a slightly sweeter taste can be expected compared to last year.
Abira Town & Sake Making
The town of Abira has a century long tradition of Sake making. In 1895, a recent settler hailing from Niigata, Hisamatsu Takahashi, opened a brewery that produced the much loved “Tokiwatsuru” for over a hundred years. Although it closed for good some time ago, Abiragawa Project’s founders had the privilege of being invited to set foot behind the curtains, and the unforgetabble taste of fresh Sake straight from the presses left a lasting impression in their memories.
