Sake
There are two sake breweries in Murakami: Taiyo, producer of Taiyozakari, and Miyao, which produces Shimeharitsuru. Both breweries make their sake with Niigata-grown rice and pristine groundwater that flows from the Asahi mountains, shedding most of its calcium and magnesium content on the way. This soft water results in dry (karakuchi), crisp, and clear sake.
Miyao Brewery
It was founded in 1819. "Shimeharitsuru" brewed here is loved not only in Japan but also in the world.
