Houou Biden

Kobayashi Sake Brewery can be found 45 kilometres east from Sapporo. Here, the “Kita No Nishiki”, a famous sake that derives its name from a Japanese proverb that captures a return to one’s hometown in glory, is brewed. Houou Biden has become famous in Hokkaido, where the coal industry and sake brewery developed in tandem.

Brewers here believe that Ginjo and Daiginjo are works of art which truly embody the Japanese spirit, and, accordingly, dedicate themselves to the production of these beverages of the highest grades. It is because of their commitment that their jizake brewery is recognised as one of Japan’s best.
