Santoka

Santoka(山頭火) is a sake brand crafted by Kanemitsushuzou Co.,Ltd in Yamaguchi, Japan. Explore their full lineup of 13 sakes on OneSip.

Kanemitsu Shuzo in Yamaguchi Prefecture inherited the brewery where haiku master Santoka Taneda once worked, and developed the Santoka brand as a poetic tribute to his legacy. Using 100% Yamaguchi Prefecture rice and local water, the brewery produces sake in small batches through slow, low-temperature fermentation, with quality management that earned gold medals at the National New Sake Competition in 2002, 2003, and 2006. The range spans from a clean, slightly dry honjozo to a junmai daiginjo genshu, each carrying the measured, introspective spirit associated with Taneda's verse.
