Sake brewing in Hokkaido takes advantage of the cool climate, and in recent years the number of distinctive sake breweries has been growing.
Hokkaido's sake breweries are known for a clean, crisp style of sake that makes the most of the region's cool climate. In recent years, breweries have also been using more rice grown in Hokkaido and working with new yeasts, producing sake in a wide variety of styles.
Sake of Hokkaido
Sake nurtured by the clear air and snowmelt water of the northern land is made in a cold climate where maturation progresses slowly. As a result, it has low amino acid levels and a clean, light drinking character. In recent years, more sake has been made with local ingredients, such as the sake rice varieties Ginpu, Hatsushizuku, and Suisei and Hamanasu flower yeast, and these efforts are attracting attention.
