Yoshinogawa Sake Brewery

吉乃川

Yoshinogawa (Yoshino River) in Nagaoka is one of Niigata's oldest and most storied breweries, with nearly five centuries of continuous operation. Their massive scale belies careful attention to quality, and the brewery's Gensen Karakuchi (Extreme Dry) line exemplifies the Niigata tanrei karakuchi ideal. A reliable gateway to understanding the regional style at an everyday price.
