Nagai Sake Brewery 永井酒造

Tanigawadake / Mizubasho ⽔芭蕉

Founded in 1886, Nagai brewery is run by two brothers, who look after all aspects of the operation from brewing to bottling.  Nagai Brewery is in the village of Kawaba, in Gunma Prefecture. Kawaba means "Place of River" and the Gohyakumangoku rice used for the Tanigawadake Super Dry is from this region (Kawaba). The water here is very soft, running through the many mountains and the valleys of Oze, before it is collected in Kawaba.
