Description

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, it was even depicted in works by one of Japan’s most famous “Ukiyoe” painting masters, Utamaro. Brewed in Hokkaido, the northernmost island in Japan, Otokoyama uses water from Mount Daisetsu, literally meaning “lots of snow.” The ice water along with crisp cold air in harsh climate of Hokkaido translates into the dry and sharp taste of sake.

“Otokoyama” literally translates to “Man Mountain.” The name alludes to the drinking parties some samurais had before war. This sake packs a dry, full-bodied taste with hints of dark plum or black cherry. It’s become synonymous with good sake worldwide due to its perfect flavor for pairing with Japanese sushi and sashimi. 

Light, smooth, and rich. Underlying subtle aroma of grain with a hint of fruity nose. Refreshing lightness with vivid acidity. A very dry sake with a sharp, rich, and full-bodied taste.
