    Overview


    Echigo Shuzojo is located in the Kita Ward of Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture, approximately 683 meters from Toyosaka Station.
     This sake brewery operates from 08:30 to 17:00, Monday to Friday, and is closed on weekends and public holidays.
     It is recommended to confirm the operating hours and days off in advance, as they may change.
    One of the particularly popular sakes produced at Echigo Shuzojo is "Koshino Hachiyou Junmai Genshu.
    " This sake has a higher alcohol content of 17%, but its fullness, umami, and richness are perfectly balanced.
     It does not overwhelm upon drinking, and the aftertaste is pleasant and crisp, making it an excellent choice to enjoy with a variety of dishes.
     This makes it especially suitable for those looking to pair their drinks with food.
    In the store, not only is there a range of sakes, but new releases, such as "origarami," are also available.
     The attentive service towards each customer is noteworthy.
     Even if a product is not displayed on the shelf, it is possible to request it, which adds to the fun of discovering your favorite sake.
     Additionally, the ambiance here differs from a typical retail store, while still offering a warm welcome even to customers who may only purchase one bottle.
     For instance, pairing it with hickory-flavored salmon belly from Akita adds to the joy of evening drinks, showcasing delightful Japanese ingredients.
    I highly encourage everyone to visit the charming Echigo Shuzojo.
     Enjoy the serene environment and fully appreciate the sake unique to Niigata, experiencing its flavors and aromas.
     Once you visit, you may find yourself captivated by its charm, leading many to return as their favorite spot.
