Sobre

One of Niigata City's oldest remaining breweries, Imayo Tsukasa made headlines by converting entirely to junmai (pure rice) production, eliminating all alcohol-added sake. This bold move in the heartland of honjozo demonstrated confidence in rice-forward brewing. Their historic brewery near Niigata Station is a popular tourist destination.
