    Overview


    Niigata Meijo is located in Ojiya City, Niigata Prefecture, just 389 meters from Ojiya Station.
     Since the store's operating hours are not specified, it is recommended to check in advance before visiting.
     The interior does not have seats, so it is primarily intended for takeout or to-go service.
    At this sake brewery, you can enjoy a diverse selection of Niigata's local sake.
     Popular products such as "Koshi no Yuki Chubai" and "Koshi no Kanchubai" are highly rated by local residents.
     "Koshi no Yuki Chubai" is affordable yet offers a retro taste with a distinctive aftertaste, making it perfect for everyday drinking.
     Additionally, "Koshi no Kanchubai" is known for its balance of smoothness and strength, loved by many customers.
    Especially during the winter season, the "nigorishu" (cloudy sake) offered provides the unique experience of enjoying two different flavors in one.
     The top layer has a clean sweetness, and by mixing the entire bottle, it transforms into a richer, thicker texture with a more intense flavor.
     Through such distinctive product offerings, Niigata Meijo can cater to a variety of customer needs.
    The craftsmen here maintain a passion and commitment to sake brewing, particularly with a strong emphasis on rice quality.
     They use only locally grown Niigata rice, which has a solid reputation for its quality.
     In addition to sake, their souvenir product "Chojamori" is also well-received.
     This range of products closely ties Niigata Meijo to the regional culture.
    At Niigata Meijo, you can not only enjoy sake but also encounter the rich culture and history behind it.
     We invite you to visit and experience this wonderful encounter with Japanese sake.
