【Beyond the ages, the pride of Otokoyama】 The clear spirit of Minamiaizu brewed by "Otokoyama Sake Brewery"

Minamiaizu Town, Tajima, prospered as a post town on the Aizu Nishi Kaido. Within its quiet streets, the "Otokoyama Sake Brewery" was born during the early 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 personality of the land, engaging in dialogue with the harsh nature of Minamiaizu for thirteen generations.

■ The harsh cold polishes, and the famous water nurtures the "pure taste"

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

  • Blessings of the Nanagatake: The brewing water is sourced from the transparent and clear underground water flowing from the famous peaks of Nanagatake in Minamiaizu.
  • Sub-zero crystals: In the snowy and cold winter of Minamiaizu, this harsh cold suppresses bacterial growth and promotes slow fermentation at low temperatures, creating a refined taste that embodies the soft umami of rice while maintaining a crisp finish.

■ 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 handwork: Without overly relying on mechanization, we inherit traditional brewing that sharpens the senses of the brewers. Even as times change, we pursue a sake that is "never tiresome to drink and complements meals," and it continues to be beloved by many enthusiasts.

The presence of the brewery, imbued with the weight of history, and the sophisticated taste that resonates in modern times. Would you like to feel the pride of Aizu in that cup that once quenched the thirst of travelers? Experience the "drops of sincerity" brewed over four hundred years in your own home.
