Omanaka Sake Brewery

【Beyond the ages, the pride of Otokoyama】 The pure spirit of Minami-Aizu brewed by "Otokoyama Sake Brewery"

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

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

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

• The blessings of Nanagatake: For brewing water, we use clear and pure underground water flowing from the famous peaks of Nanagatake in Minami-Aizu.
• Subzero crystals: In the deep snow and chilling cold of Minami-Aizu's winter, this harsh cold suppresses bacterial growth and promotes slow fermentation at low temperatures, creating a refined taste that is sharp yet imbued with the soft umami of rice.

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

The flagship brand "Aizu Otokoyama" is, as the name suggests, a sake that evokes 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 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 its sophisticated taste that resonates in modern times. Why not 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.
