Some might have you believe that the name Aki Tora (“The Tiger of Aki”) comes from the Hanshin Tigers baseball team, which uses Aki City as its spring training field, but don’t be fooled. The name actually derives from Aki Kunitora, a feudal lord with a fiery history who once resided in the local castle. In this land of Kochi, rich in dry sakes, Arimitsu Shuzi wanted to produce a sake with sweetness, which nourishes the hearts.
Akitora is a Junmai sake that will be by your side whenever you want to spend time relaxing, thinking alone, or having a good time with your friends.
