    木ノ本の古い街並みにある老舗の酒蔵。七本槍の純米を購入したが、なかなかの辛口。ＪＲ木ノ本駅から徒歩10分もかからずアクセスも良い。

    A 10-minute walk from JR Kusatsu Station. This longstanding sake company, established in 1874, can be reached by following the Tokaido Highway a short distance southwest from the Kusatsujuku Kaido Koryukan.

From the start, the company has made sakes using Omi rice, and today the company makes a wide array of alcoholic beverages, including shochus, wines, and liqueurs, in addition to Dokan, a brand of seishu refined sakes inspired by the famous Ota family samurai commander. The brand's Wataribune is particularly recommended. During the off season, visitors can tour the company's brewery with an advance reservation.

    Shiga Konan-shi Hari 756
    An eight-minute walk from Kosei Station on the JR Kusatsu Line. This longstanding sake company brewery stands in between Minakuchi-shuku and Ishibe-shuku, two old post station towns situated along the former Tokaido Highway which once served as a key transportation hub connecting the eastern and western parts of the country. Using underground spring water from the Suzuka Mountains and supreme sake rice grown on the Omi Plain, known for its exceptional rice growing conditions, the company's signature Miyosakae brand of authentic sakes are fermented and stored entirely at low temperatures and are renowned for their unbelievably delicious flavor. The company's new Kitajima brand, meanwhile, is a back to basics series of sakes made according to the traditional kimoto-zukuri method, the origin of all other sake making methods, and are notable for their smooth and intense flavor. The brewery offers sake samples and sells sake, and also offers brewery tours (advance reservation required).

Covering an area of 670 square kilometers, Lake Biwa makes up the bulk of Shiga prefecture, with beautiful lakeside paths that offer myriad walking and cycling opportunities, connecting a string of museums, shrines, and picturesque views that finally lead you to Hikone Castle on the eastern side of the lake.
