Otokoyama
Otokoyama
Hokkaido Prefecture
With a history spanning over 340 years, this brewery’s sake was a favorite of the Tokugawa Shogunate. It was so popular with people in Edo (present-day Tokyo), it was even depicted in works by one of Japan’s most famous ukiyo-e painting masters, Kitagawa Utamaro (c. 1753–1806). Brewed in Hokkaido, the northernmost island in Japan, Otokoyama uses water from Mt. Daisetsu, literally meaning “lots of snow.” The ice water along with crisp cold air in the harsh climate of Hokkaido translates into the dry and sharp taste of sake.
