    Located in Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture, Taiyo Sake Brewery came about when 14 local breweries merged in 1945. It is known as one of the first breweries to have marketed ginjoshu sake in Japan, winning numerous awards. Using rice produced in Niigata Prefecture and fresh local water perfect for brewing, Taiyo Sake Brewery is able to produce a wide range of sake from the highest quality sake to an evening tipple. Their Shiun sake, only available in the Murakami region, is a popular choice as a souvenir. Inside the brewery is an exhibition area which shows the equipment used for brewing, drinking vessels, and an introduction of townhouse culture. Visitors can also enjoy sampling sake fresh from the brewery.
