【Timeless Sake Brewery Architecture】 'Daiwakawa Sake Brewery North Country Museum' that conveys the spirit of Edo to the present

Since its establishment in the 2nd year of the Kansei era (1790), the long-established 'Daiwakawa Sake Brewery' has been brewing sake in the city of Kitakata for generations. When they established a new brewery to mark the 200th anniversary, they transformed the old storehouse, where sake brewing was once actually conducted, into a museum 'North Country Museum' that conveys history and tradition.
