    Overview


    Yoshioka Sake Brewery is a small sake production facility located in Kyotango City, Kyoto Prefecture, and it produces Japanese sake that is loved by locals.
     The surrounding area is rich in nature, creating a tranquil atmosphere.
     When you visit, you can receive direct explanations about the products from the brewery owner and toji (master brewer), and afterwards, you can enjoy tasting their pride—delicious sake—while making your selections.
    This brewery offers a diverse range of sake, including special junmai and daiginjo.
     In particular, the brand “Yoshinoyama” is popular, made using local rice, Gohyakumangoku, and spring water that flows from the mountains.
     This sake is carefully brewed with a polishing ratio of 60%, and when poured into a glass, its beautiful golden hue catches the eye.
     Its flavor is rich, and the mature taste lingers pleasantly with each sip.
    Moreover, because this facility produces sake in small quantities, there are rare bottles that are not widely available in the market.
     For example, the "Junmai Yoshinoyama," brewed in September 2021, allows you to enjoy its uniqueness and freshness.
     Such sake is beloved not only by travelers but also by the locals.
    The owner and staff are very friendly, and they place great importance on communication with customers.
     This creates a welcoming environment, making it comfortable for first-time visitors.
     Additionally, perhaps due to its location in a small village, the sense of community and warmth among the people adds to the overall experience.
    Speaking of food, there are simple yet delicious snacks that pair perfectly with the sake, such as chikuwa (fish cakes) and fish sausages.
     Enjoying these snacks along with the sake enhances its charm even more.
    At Yoshioka Sake Brewery, you can encounter delicious Japanese sake crafted through traditional methods and rich cultural heritage.
     I highly recommend visiting to experience its wonderful offerings for yourself.
