Otokoyama – Featured Sake

Why Otokoyama is Special

1. Born From the Harsh Beauty of Hokkaido

Otokoyama is brewed in Asahikawa, one of Japan’s coldest regions. Naturally cold fermentation creates a clean, sharp, ultra-pure taste.

2. Snowmelt Water from the Daisetsuzan Mountains

Using pristine snowmelt filtered through granite, Otokoyama delivers soft, mineral-balanced dryness with exceptional clarity.

3. Edo-Era Legacy and Samurai Tradition

Its name appears in old sake documents and ukiyo-e artworks — a brewery defined by discipline, sincerity, and unwavering quality.

4. Signature Dry Style – “The Otoko Sake”

Loved for its karakuchi (dry) clarity, Otokoyama is precise, smooth, and quietly powerful — like standing in clean northern air at dawn.

5. Trusted Worldwide – Award-Winning Quality

With many international awards and strong recognition overseas, Otokoyama is a trusted choice for sushi restaurants, beginners, and serious sake fans alike.
