Akana Brewery is located in Iinan, Shimane Prefecture. The brewery was founded in 1929 when three neighbouring breweries merged to form the Akana Brewery under the government's policy of consolidating small sake brewers. Denichiro Tachiki, a wealthy merchant from Kurushima, Iinan-chō, Shimane Prefecture, who provided much of the funding for the company's establishment, became its first director and named the brand "Kinunomine".

The brewery prospered for many years as a subcontractor to significant sake brewers. From the late 1980s, many breweries began to strengthen their own production facilities and no longer needed to buy sake from subcontractors. Like many other small sake breweries, the Akana Shuzo turned unviable. The brewery's real estate was purchased by the then-Akarai township and turned into a town-owned property.

After ten years of volunteer management, poor sales led to the company trading raw sake from other companies with small production. Eventually, the brewery stopped its operations. New administration established Akana Brewery Co., renovating the ageing brewery and re-establishing it as a junmai kura, producing only junmai sake, mainly from high-quality Iinan-machi rice. In 2016, Akana started to export sake to Thailand.
