    "This sake brewery maintains an old kura storehouse in the former Oshu Kaido highway post station town of Shirasawa-juku. Since it was established in 1868, the brewery has continued to make seishu refined sakes using only rice from Tochigi Prefecture based on the concept of ""proclaiming a true local sake."" The brewery's vaunted Sawahime, its chief brand, has even won a top award at the International Wine Challenge, one of the biggest alcoholic beverage competitions in the world. In the center of Shirasawa-juku, a former Oshu Kaido post station town which has been riddled with channels since ancient times for supplying water for everyday as well as irrigation purpose, the brewery continues to make sakes which leverage the area's abundant water resources and fertile soil."

Most visits to Tochigi revolve around Nikko, a small city home to the spectacular, lavishly decorated Toshogu Shrine and Nikko National Park with its mountains, lakes, waterfalls, onsen, and wild monkeys. Neighboring Oku-Nikko is an extension of the fantastic scenery famous for its autumn leaves, while Tochigi’s capital, Utsunomiya, is the only place in the world where you can find oya stone beautifully exhibited in temples and the Oya History Museum.
