What you’ll find

What Ginban Shuzo (Ginban Sake Brewery) is known for

Ginban has brewed sake for more than a century in Ogiu, a district of Kurobe fed by snowmelt water flowing off the Tateyama mountains. The brewery mills its own rice and keeps a retail shop on site where visitors can taste and buy the finished sake directly.
