Tochigi is well known for the internationally famous tourist spot Nikko! Traditionally, Tochigi sake was considered too sweet for food pairing as the local Tochigi food is on the saltier end. This is because Tochigi is located inaldn, and plenty of local food there is preserved. In recent times, Tochigi sakes have evolved to a lighter and drier style, seemingly adjusted to appeal to the refined preferences of consumers in Tokyo.
