About

A long-established jizake specialty shop in Utsunomiya, founded in 1894. Separate refrigerators hold Tochigi jizake and popular labels from across Japan, and the range covers sake, shochu, and wine. Keeping the interior dark and storing sake in temperature-controlled space is confirmed repeatedly, so it can be seen as a shop that takes storage seriously. Staff recommend bottles to suit your taste and the occasion, making it a consultation-style store, and events such as sake culture classes are held in the space at the back.

How to buy

A good shop for seeing Tochigi local sake and rare bottles from across Japan together. Tochigi labels such as Shikizakura, Shichisui, and Daina are easy to pick as travel gifts, and there are repeated cases of coming across popular labels from other prefectures such as Sharaku, Ryujin, and Kaze no Mori. Limited releases and new arrivals are announced on the official Instagram and Twitter, so checking social media before visiting is worthwhile. Stock changes with the season and arrival timing, and particular popular labels are not always there. An online shop is also run, but the sake category lists only a limited selection, so visiting in person is worth more.

Getting there

A 10-minute walk from the west exit of JR Utsunomiya Station, or 15 minutes from the west exit of Tobu Utsunomiya Station. Being walkable from the station makes it easy for business travelers and tourists to slot into an Utsunomiya schedule, and by car it is about 30 minutes from the Utsunomiya IC or about 25 minutes from the Kaminokawa IC.
