Shiokawashuzou

Shiokawa Shuzo, located in Uchinomachi, Nishi-ku, Niigata City, is an innovative brewery that has continued to challenge sake brewing by fusing traditional techniques with free thinking since its founding in 1912. In the land of Uchino, which once flourished as a post town on the Hokkoku Kaido highway and is blessed with high-quality groundwater, they carefully protect the tradition of Niigata sake.
Their most prominent feature is the modern brand development aiming at the world market, such as 'Fisherman Sokujo' and 'Cowboy Yamahai,' while protecting traditional famous sake like 'Koshi no Seki.' Their attitude of pursuing the best pairing with meat and fish dishes, without being bound by the framework of sake, continues to fascinate new sake fans at home and abroad. While respecting tradition, they are one of the most passionate breweries in Niigata, constantly questioning the future of sake for the next generation.
