Sake Brewery Museum Toko's Brewery

The "Sake Brewing Museum Tokko no Sakagura" in Yonezawa City is located in an environment well-suited for sake brewing, blessed with abundant water and high-quality rice. Founded in 1597, Kojima Sohonten is known by the name Tokko and holds the honor of being permitted to brew sake even during the sake prohibition of the Edo period. This museum is one of the largest in the Tohoku region and recreates the atmosphere of a Meiji-era sake brewery. The brewing warehouse, where sake was actually produced, has also been used as a filming location for TV dramas and foreign commercials. Inside the museum, various sake brewing tools and displays showing the history of sake breweries can be found, with a particularly impressive lineup of six-shaku barrels. The on-site shop, directly managed by the brewery, offers tastings and purchases of Tokko sake. Additionally, there is a special exhibit room dedicated to Uesugi Yozan as part of the museum. This place allows visitors to feel the history and culture of sake brewing while enjoying tastings and finding their favorite bottle.
