Hachinohe brewery is located in Hachinohe city in Aomori prefecture which is well known as the most catch of squid in Japan. They are particular about being 100% made in Aomori from rice, yeast and Joki mold in order to create an original taste.

The taste is made for dry sake and sashimi lovers. Sharp dry with a fresh taste which makes Sashimi a good food pairing.

Hachinohe Port in Aomori Prefecture, which boasts the largest catch of squid in Japan, is lined with squid fishing boats that fill the horizon from summer to autumn, and at night their lights create a fantastic scene across the sea. ISARIBI Tokubetsu Junmai, which uses the image of Hachinohe sea at night as its product label, was developed based on the concept of a food sake that goes well with local Hachinohe fish dishes.
This sake was born to be paired with fish, especially squid sashimi. The sweetness of the squid's flesh, plus the unique flavour of seafood, matches the richness of ISARIBI perfectly! It seems to play a supporting role in all fish dishes, not only squid, but also tuna and kinmedai (splendid alfonsino) sashimi, or even simmered flounder (karei no nitsuke).
