【Transcending generations, the pride of Otokoyama】 The pure spirit of Minamiaizu brewed by "Otokoyama Sake Brewery"

Minamiaizu Town, Tajima, flourished as a post town on the Aizu Nishi Kaido. In this quiet town, "Otokoyama Sake Brewery" was born during the Kan'ei era (1624-1644), shortly after the establishment of the Edo Shogunate. This brewery, boasting one of the finest histories in the Aizu region, has continued to brew drops that reflect the uniqueness of the land while engaging in dialogue with the harsh nature of Minamiaizu over thirteen generations.

■ The harsh cold refines, and the famous water nurtures the "clean taste"

At the core of Otokoyama Sake Brewery's sake-making is a deep respect for the "water" and "climate" nurtured by this land.

  • Blessings of the Nanagatake: The brewing water used is clear and pure underground water flowing from the famous peaks of Minamiaizu, Nanagatake.
  • Subzero crystals: In the snowy, bone-chilling winter of Minamiaizu. This severe cold suppresses bacterial growth and promotes slow fermentation at low temperatures, creating a refined taste that breathes the soft umami of rice while maintaining sharpness.

■ The brilliance of "Aizu Otokoyama" woven by tradition and sincerity

The flagship brand "Aizu Otokoyama" is, as its name suggests, a sake that conveys unwavering strength and sincerity.

  • The warmth of handcraft: Without overly relying on mechanization, we inherit the traditional brewing methods honed by the senses of the brewers. Even as times change, we pursue "sake that never becomes tiresome and complements meals," which is still cherished by many enthusiasts.

The presence of the brewery, imbued with the weight of history, and the sophisticated taste that resonates in modern times. Why not feel the pride of Aizu in that cup, which once quenched the thirst of travelers? Experience the "drops of sincerity" brewed over four hundred years in your own home.
