北川本家 直営店 おきな屋（富翁）

Kitagawa Honke began in 1657 in Fushimi, Kyoto, and the English site says it has kept the brewery going 'for over 360 years'. It claims 21 gold prizes at the national new sake competition (as of June 2023). At the directly run Okinaya shop, sake is sold by measure straight from the tank: freshly pressed raw sake and aged raw sake are brought from the brewery in the tank and bottled on the spot. The summer-only Natsu no Yamahai uses 100% Yamada Nishiki, brewed by the old yamahai method, stored cold and pasteurised just once. Tomio daiginjo junmai Ginrei (300 ml) costs ¥762 including tax; the 720 ml bottle costs ¥2,000; Natsu no Yamahai (720 ml) costs ¥1,600.
