Product details
For well over a century, the house behind this creation has been a hallmark of northern Japan’s Aomori Prefecture, tracing its roots to the coastal town of Hachinohe. The “Mutsu Otokoyama” name, registered in 1910, reflects a long tradition of craftsmanship and a commitment to purity. Using pristine local spring water and carefully cultivated rice, the house emphasizes a clean and restrained style, delivering clarity and precision in every expression. This particular rendition showcases a bold, dry character with a steady presence on the palate, exemplifying the brand’s dedication to balance and its signature crispness.
On the nose, delicate hints of citrus mingle with subtle floral undertones, revealing the unique influence of white koji. The palate is refreshingly dry, with firm structure and a clean, mineral-driven finish that carries a faint umami richness. Its bright and crisp profile makes it an ideal companion to intensely flavored dishes such as squid shiokara, seafood al ajillo, or golden-fried chicken karaage, enhancing each bite with its sharp, invigorating presence.
