    Nigata Pref. Sadoshi Kamoutashiro 458
    A brewery that have consistently made high quality sake with machines on the nature abundant Sado Island. To maintain the sterile conditions needed for the microorganisms used in sake making, the brewery avoids using human hands as much as possible, using computer controls instead. Tenryohai started making sake using careful planning and cultivation with locally made rice cultivar Koshitanrei and underground water from Mt. Kinpoku, giving their sake a mellow fragrance and refreshing taste. Tours of the brewery are available.

    こちらの社長は、24歳の若さでこの酒蔵を買収したということ。ちょっと話題性がありますね。 酒蔵の見学も積極的に行っているのですが、案内の時間は限られます。私も訪ねた時は見学の出発時間がちょうど過ぎたところ。売り場をちょろっと見るだけで終わりました。
