Akatsuki Brewery was established in Kyodo, Setagaya Ward in 2016 as the first brewery in Setagaya. It is a small brewery, and brews unfiltered beer. Unfiltered beer has the advantage of being highly nutritious and rich in umami, but it is slightly different each time because the yeast continues to ferment.

Akatsuki Brewery currently has four beer products, including one named Dragon Eye.

During the limited period from late May to early June, the lake near the summit of Hachimantai melts and looks like the eyes of a dragon, hence the name Hachimantai Dragon Eye.

Akatsuki Brewery Hachimantai Factory’s beer is named Dragon Eye (Kagami-numa), a tourist attraction at the top of Hachimantai, in honor of the rich people and nature of Hachimantai.

Amazing pilsner using one of the 100 best waters in Japan for natural brewing. Good aroma, modest carbonation and bitterness, light sweetness. Perfect with a sashimi platter.
