Tokubetsu Junmai Kita no Inaho is a sake from the northern land of Hokkaido, crafted by Otokoyama Brewery. It's a true "Dosanko" sake, embodying the spirit of the locals!
In Hokkaido, there are two famous mountains often referred to as "Otoko-yama" (Man Mountain) and "Onna-yama" (Woman Mountain). "Onna-yama" is Mount Yotei, a popular destination for skiing and hiking in the Niseko area, while "Otoko-yama" refers to the Daisetsuzan Mountain Range in the Kamikawa region, where Asahikawa City is located. The perennial snow that remains on these majestic mountains melts and becomes the underground water used in sake brewing by Otokoyama Sake Brewery, a long-established brewery in Asahikawa. One of their popular staple products is "Tokubetsu Junmai Kita no Inaho," known for its smooth texture and robust rice flavor. It evokes a familiar taste reminiscent of "freshly cooked rice," a flavor deeply rooted in the memories of Japanese people. While the rice flavor is pronounced, it maintains a good balance between sweetness and dryness, making it a versatile sake that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with meals. It's a highly recommended sake for both men and women!
