    Overview


    Eikun Brewery is located in Shimizu-ku, Shizuoka City, about 3 kilometers from Kamakura Station.
     The store does not have set business hours, so it's advisable to check in advance before visiting.
     There is parking available nearby, with space for 2-3 cars across from the brewery.
     However, since there is also a parking area for employees, it's important to pay attention to availability.
    This brewery offers a diverse range of products, focusing mainly on sake.
     One of the highlights is the “Eikun Summer Ginjo,” which is popular for its light, dry flavor and refreshing finish, available only in the summer months.
     This sake is made with Gohyakumangoku rice polished to 60%, and it has a sake meter value of +7, characterizing it as a dry yet crisp and clean beverage.
     Additionally, "Green Eikun," a Junmai Ginjo, is noteworthy as it won a gold medal at the KURAMASTER Sake Competition in 2017.
     Such highly rated sake is why many people enjoy it through local tax payment programs.
    Inside the shop, there are limited edition and reserved sakes displayed in the refrigerator, offering a chance to encounter rare brews that are not available elsewhere.
     When purchasing, customers should enter from the sales area rather than through the sugidama (cedar ball) entrance, so take note of this detail.
    It’s also mentioned that pairing with local ingredients like “Ama-amaguri” can enhance the flavors of both the food and the sake, creating a delightful synergy.
     Such pairings allow visitors to fully experience the charm of sake.
    At Eikun Brewery, you can deepen your understanding of Japanese culture and local industries while enjoying delicious sake.
     With its unique product lineup, it's definitely worth a visit.
