It continues to produce nectar even in severe droughts. Its roots, which grow several meters underground, and its tiny berries, which are only a few millimeters in diameter, have been used in natural medicine and medical treatment for more than 1,000 years.
Fermentation with famous Okuchichibu water and sake yeast
Akkuray ® Mead is produced at the Diarette Field Brewery in Okuchichibu, surrounded by mountains. Bishamonmizu, or "divine water," has long gushed forth from this area, and is recognized as one of the "100 Best Waters of the Heisei Era. The sake yeast selected by Toji, a pioneer in the production of domestic mead, and his expert techniques have resulted in an original mead with a rich flavor that brings the charm of Akkuray ® Honey to life.
What is mead, a honey wine?
Mead is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting honey with water and yeast. Mead is the world's oldest alcoholic beverage, dating back more than 10,000 years, even older than wine.
The Birth of Mead
It is said to have originated when a passing hunter drank naturally fermented rainwater that had accumulated in a beehive ravaged by a bear.
Love drink
In medieval Europe, mead was said to bring forth children. It is said that the word "honeymoon" is derived from the custom of brides making mead and giving it to their groomsmen for fertility. It is said that fathers gave mead to their daughters when they got married.
Beverages loved by queens
Cleopatra, the Queen of Sheba, and Elizabeth I were all fond of drinking this mead. The word "medicine" is derived from "metheglin," a mead made with herbs that was a favorite of Queen Elizabeth I.
