A Fusion of Traditional and Organic

This collaboration highlights the fusion of Nonotori's traditional charcoal-grilled yakitori with carefully crafted pure rice sake from Akika Sake Brewery. The izakaya Ooshima, located within T-MARKET, has garnered attention for being a gathering spot for sake lovers and enthusiasts alike.

"Yakitori may seem simple, but it is an intricate art when you consider the different parts of the chicken. Combining it with organic sake opens up a whole new world of flavors,” shares Atsushi Nonami, the owner and head chef of Nonotori.

Shared Philosophy

At the core of this event lies a shared philosophy grounded in Japanese artisan skills, sustainability, and an unwavering respect for ingredients. Established in 1886, Akika Sake Brewery is nestled in the hills of Nose, Osaka, where they cultivate sake rice, Yamadanishiki, without the use of pesticides on their own managed rice fields. The pure rice sake brewed from just rice, koji, and water is a genuine reflection of its terroir.

By pairing their organic sake with charcoal-grilled yakitori, attendees can discover the newfound charm and flavors that organic sake introduces to this traditional dish.
