Naba Shoten

Located near Tsuchizaki harbor in Akita City, Naba Shoten has been a local favorite since 1815. Naba Shoten is one of only a few breweries in all of Japan that still practices the ancient “dekasegi” system, in which brewery workers leave their homes in the countryside & move into the brewery for the season. The constant presence of such skilled & dedicated workers ensures continual monitoring of brewing conditions, leading to wonderfully smooth & balanced sakes. Every bottle of Naba Shoten sake is brewed exclusively with local rice, a unique brand of yeast, & waters from the nearby Omono River, to produce sake that captures the authentic characteristics of Akita.
