Shiokawa Brewery

Traditional but not bound by tradition, Shiokawa-san’s curiosity and scientific approach to brewing results in constant experimentation to make better sake year after year.
• This brewery is truly a family business, with only three employees: Shiokawa-san, his wife, and his cousin.
• Although Shiokawa-san first attempted at making yamahai 14 years ago as an experiment, it has since become core to his brewery’s identity. While Niigata can be known for sakes that are crisp, clean, and often water-like, he pushes the envelope making soulful, uncontrolled sakes without commercial yeast or temperature control that have inexplicable smokiness, umami and a delightful sourness.
