Hakusan Kikusake

A blessing from the sacred Mt. Hakusan, the cool and clear water of the Tedori River System has been used for sake brewing since ancient times. The effects from geological strata and other elements contribute to the high ratings the sake has received both domestically and internationally. Currently, there are five brewers, and 13 brands of Hakusan Kikusake developed according to rigorous standards and with a strong commitment to fine sake. Try different brands of Hakusan Kikusake and enjoy the differences!

Ankoro

Wrapped in a bamboo sheath, ankoro is a simple Japanese rice cake ( mochi ) made of glutinous rice grown at the foot of Mt. Hakusan, adzuki beans grown in Hokkaido, and sugar. People love our ankoro for its softness and simple, elegant sweetness. Enpachi has steadfastly maintained the original characteristics of the shop's ankoro since its establishment in 1737. Visitors are free to tour the factory to see the production process.

Katadofu (Hard tofu)

Tofu, which is made of soybeans, is usually soft. Yet katadofu (literally "hard tofu") is so hard it will retain its shape even when tied up with a rope. Full of the natural taste of soybeans, it is a specialty food of the region at the foot of Mt. Hakusan. In addition to eating it as it is, we recommend deep frying it or pan frying it to make "tofu steak".
