Tochigi
İklim
Tochigi lies north of Tokyo in a broad inland basin flanked by the Nikko mountains and the Nasu highlands, where cold winter air funnels down from elevated peaks to create reliable low fermentation temperatures. Natural spring water emerging from volcanic lava fields around Nikko and Nasu is unusually pure and soft, with minimal mineral interference — ideal for delicate ginjo styles that Senkin and other modern breweries are championing.
