Otokoyama Sake Brewery Museum
男山酒造り資料舘
The museum of Otokoyama, a long-established sake brand founded in the Edo period. Visitors can see brewing tools and ukiyo-e prints and taste sake for free.
Otokoyama traces its origins to Itami Brewery in the 17th century. It later continued in Asahikawa and is one of Hokkaido’s best-known sake brands, brewed with groundwater from the Daisetsuzan mountains. The museum displays traditional brewing tools, ukiyo-e prints related to Otokoyama and historical records. In winter, during the brewing season, you can watch the brewing work through glass windows. Entry is free, and you can sample several sakes at no charge. The “Enju Water” by the entrance can be drunk freely. It is open about 9:00–17:00 and closed over the New Year holidays. It is located in the Nagayama district of Asahikawa, about a 10-minute drive from Asahikawa Ramen Village. Drivers should not taste the sake.
