    Nigata Pref. Nigatashi Chuou-ku Kagamigaoka 1-1
    This well-established brewery was founded in 1764. It is located east of Niigata Station, along National Route 2, and is said to have been built on the site of a rice granary once owned by the Shibata clan. The current building was built at the end of the 19th century. The brewery is open to visitors all days of the week, and reservations are only necessary for groups of more than seven people. Tools used in the past to make sake are displayed here, and visitors can taste over ten kinds of pure rice wine. Thanks to the detailed explanations of the workers, even the most inexperienced can enjoy tasting the differences between the various types of sake. The brewery also offers non-alcoholic amazake for non-drinkers.

    Well worth doing. The tour was great, very interesting and not too long. You might want to check when the English speaking tours are as it is not available with all tours. The Sake was lovely.

    Nigata Pref. Nigatashi Nishikan-ku Kakudahama 1661
    This is a winery located along the hilly coastal area in Nishikan Ward, Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture. In the vast vineyard there are various kinds of facilities such as a wine shop, a wine cellar, a restaurant, a bakery, a day-trip hot spring facility, an accommodation facility and an English garden. Wine is made from grapes grown in a climate where there is almost no snowfall and has low rainfall, where high heat is accumulated after the rainy-season, unique to the region. Wine tours, reservations required, are also held.

    A stretch located in Niigata where all the wineries are concentrated. It’s a pity that when we visit, the season is already over for grapes and all we see is fruitless vines. But we visited the...

    昔ながらの酒蔵見学ができます。歴史を感じる素敵な酒蔵です。女将さんが丁寧に説明してくださり、最後は試飲タイム。何でも飲ませてもらえますので、思わず大量に買ってしまいますが、宅配もしてもらえるので心配いりません。フレッシュないちごを使った甘酒が珍しく、お土産にも喜ばれました。私は午後15時からの見学でしたが、酒蔵ならではの米を蒸す午前中の方が見ごたえがあるそうですので、行かれるなら朝早い時間がお薦め...

    Niigata Agano Kanaya 345-1

    レストランもすごーく気になっていたのですが、他のお店を予約していたのでこちらは工場見学だけという事にしました。創業からいらっしゃる従業員の方がビール作成過程を説明して下さり、その後レストランでビール試飲3種類。運転係は残念ながら別の飲み物になりますがビール好きには中々飲めないビールを楽しむことが出来ます。

    Niigata Niigata-shi Nishi-ku Kiyama 24

    「越路吹雪」という名前のお酒を作られている酒蔵です。燕三条でお買い物をした帰り、新潟に戻る途中に偶然見つけて立ち寄りました。でも、こちらは酒蔵(工場)で、ここでは販売はされてないような感じですが、どうでしょう?
