Otokoyama Sake Brewery Museum
Experience the history and craftsmanship of a sake once favored by the Shogunate
Boasting over 350 years of history, the Otokoyama Sake Brewery Museum offers a deep dive into the soul of sake brewing. Explore precious artifacts from the Edo period and discover the traditions behind one of Japan’s most renowned labels.
Asahikawa’s harsh winters and the crystal-clear underground spring water from the Daisetsuzan Mountain Range nurture this world-class sake. Inside the museum, the rich aroma of koji (malted rice) fills the air, where heavy wooden barrels and Edo-period ukiyo-e prints invite you into a world of tradition. During the winter brewing season, you can feel the energy of the brewers amidst clouds of white steam, experiencing the vibrant reality of sake production firsthand.
The craftsmanship, which has earned gold medals at the Monde Selection for over 40 consecutive years, is now even more accessible through the OTOKOYAMA SAKE PARK, established in 2024. On the outdoor terrace, you can savor unique sake cocktails and sweets made from sake lees (sake kasu) while breathing in the fresh Hokkaido air. Enjoy a special moment where the culture fostered by this historic brewery meets the rich nature of Asahikawa, engaging all five of your senses.
