Over 350 Years of Sake Brewing:
Founded in 1673, during the Edo period, Tamagawa Sake Brewery has been making sake in Uonuma, Niigata for more than 350 years. Its brewing tradition has been carried forward through 19 generations.
Craft Whisky, Made in Niigata:
Niigata Kameda Distillery is a small-scale distillery dedicated to producing single malt whisky that reflects the natural character of Niigata. Drawing on the region’s climate and resources, we carefully craft whisky with a distinctive local identity.
Our Commitment to "Tanrei Karakuchi" (Crisp & Dry Style):
Since our founding, we have pursued the ultimate "everyday dry sake"—a crisp, refreshing brew that never tires the palate and seamlessly complements daily meals and people's lifestyles.
Brewing Sake Since 1548:
Founded in 1548 in Nagaoka, Niigata, Yoshinogawa is the oldest sake brewery in the prefecture, with a history spanning over 470 years. Today, we continue this long-standing tradition while remaining deeply rooted in Niigata’s renowned sake-brewing culture.
