Distillery Information

Yokota Brewery was founded in 1805 in Gyōda City, Saitama Prefecture, by Shoemon Yokota, who sought pure water and quality rice for sake brewing. The brewery has a long heritage of using traditional methods, including aging in enamel tanks and employing special fermentation techniques. Their use of the “oldest known yeast strain” of sake, along with minimal filtering and aging, shows a dedication to preserving historical sake styles. Yokota emphasizes local ingredients — using water from local wells and rice grown in Saitama — to yield sake that strongly reflects its origin. With Edo no Utage, they aim to recreate the banquet-style sake of old Edo era, offering richness, tradition, and a depth that comes from experience rather than gimmicks.
