【Transcending generations, the pride of Mount Otoko】 The clear spirit of Minamiaizu brewed by "Otoko Mountain Sake Brewery"

Minamiaizu Town, Tajima, flourished as a post town on the Aizu Nishi Kaido. Within its quiet streets, "Otoko Mountain Sake Brewery" was born during the Kan'ei era (1624-1644), shortly after the Edo Shogunate was established. This brewery, boasting one of the richest histories in the Aizu region, has continued to brew drops that reflect the personality 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 "pure taste"

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

  • Blessings of the Seven Mountains: The brewing water is sourced from the clear, transparent subterranean water flowing from the famous peaks of Minamiaizu, the Seven Mountains.
  • Subzero crystals: In the deep snow and biting cold of Minamiaizu's winter, this severe 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 Otoko Mountain" woven by tradition and sincerity

The flagship brand "Aizu Otoko Mountain" is, as its name suggests, a sake that evokes a sense of unwavering strength and sincerity.

  • The warmth of handmade craftsmanship: 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 pairs well with meals," and it continues to be loved 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 true heart" brewed over four hundred years in your own home.
