Taiyoushuzou

Taiyo Shuzo, founded in 1945 by the merger of 14 breweries in the Murakami region, is a brewery based in Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture. Its predecessors include long-established breweries founded in the Kanei era (1624-), and it fuses tradition spanning several centuries with high technical capabilities born from a rational merger.
Leveraging the severe cold unique to Murakami and the blessed natural environment of the Miomote River's underflow water, it continues careful sake brewing. Representative brands such as 'Taiyozakari' and 'Hokusho' are highly evaluated as 'Murakami's sake' that is mellow yet sharp and accompanies any dish. It is also actively working on transmitting sake culture through his 'Nagomigura' which offers brewery tours and historical materials exhibitions. While respecting tradition, it is one of the representative breweries in northern Niigata that always pursues drinker satisfaction.
