Know More:

Jozan Sake makes its home in Fukui Prefecture. Fukui is one of three rural prefectures on the west coast of Japan. It is nestled between the Sea of Japan and the Echizen mountains. The calm and easy life in Fukui is blessed by beautiful nature. Japanese often point to the Echizen Mountains rising in the background of Fukui City and speak of rich natural water.

The pure quality spring water flowing from the Echizen Mountains is the foundation of fine dining in Fukui. The prefecture, since ages past, has been one of Japan's leading rice producers and is famous throughout all of Japan for its excellent high quality rice, buckwheat and wild-mountain vegetables. The pristine and highly varied climate of the Hakusan mountain water system provides the ideal source of natural mineral-rich water.

The rice for Jozan Sake is grown in the Miyama district of Fukui City, a rich farming area located in the center of Fukui prefecture's Reihoku area within the Echizen Mountains. In the beautiful mountains and clean water surroundings of Miyama, the rice is brought up gently with care, it breathes in the mountain’s nutrients and helps create a drop of sake melted together with nature.

Jozan Sake is distilled from these natural blessings of land, climate, rice, and exquisite water. The flavor of the rice is light but the Tokoyama family is knowledgeable and draws out its taste, shaping the flavor and expressing it into either a full flavored richness or a crisp clean dry finish. Within every drop of Jozan Sake, the sincerity and pride of the Tokoyama family’s artisan work can be experienced.
