While Kadoguchi Sake Brewery primarily produces sake, the availability is limited to certain production periods.
 Typically, the brewing season runs from October to March, making visits during this time promising for encountering fresh sake.

Notably, many customers find that even the cheapest ordinary sake is quite delicious.
 The Daiginjo sake is also highly rated, with its deep flavor being something exceptional.
