     It is approximately 2,036 meters from Inawashiro Station, surrounded by beautiful nature.
     The business hours are from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays (Monday to Saturday) and from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Sundays and public holidays, with irregular closing days, so it is recommended to check before visiting.
    This brewery is particularly popular for its sake series named "Nanae-iro.
    " Among them, "Nanae-iro Tokubetsu Junmai Namazume Genshu" and "Nanae-iro Junmai Daiginjo Genshu" have received high praise.
     "Nanae-iro Tokubetsu Junmai Namazume Genshu" features a well-balanced acidity and sweetness, offering a refreshing umami that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
     Additionally, "Nanae-iro Junmai Daiginjo Genshu," made with Yamadanishiki rice, is known for its rich flavor and robust drinking experience, yet it also has a sweetness that spreads beautifully, making it beloved by many.
     This sake won the gold medal at the National New Sake Competition in 2022, affirming its quality.
    Inagawa Shuzoten is committed to traditional manufacturing methods and primarily sells its products within the prefecture, adding to their rarity.
     Their lineup, including unfiltered genshu and stylish sparkling one-cups, is also highly appealing.

    Moreover, the brewery offers guided tours for tourists, which require advance reservations, allowing visitors to view the interior of the brewery.
     Learning about the historical buildings and traditional manufacturing methods provides a great opportunity to deepen one's understanding of Japanese culture.
