Holbrook
Settled: 1881
Population: 4,833 (2023)
Holbrook is a historic town along Route 66, known for its quirky roadside attractions and Old West charm. It is our last stop on our road trip across Arizona's stretch of Route 66. Don't be surprised to see a few dinosaurs when traveling through!
World-Renowned Sake
Holbrook is home to the only First-Grade Sake brewer in America, Atsuo Sakurai. Sakurai is from Yokohama, Japan, and says he is the bridge between Arizona and Japanese sake. His sake has won gold medals in the Tokyo Sake Competition in 2018 and the Los Angeles International Wine Competition in 2019.
How did Japanese sake make it's way to a small town in Arizona? This is Atsuo Sakurai's story.
