Tsunan Sake Brewery, renowned for brewing sake in one of the world’s most snow-abundant regions, is excited to introduce the “Gosetsu Set”. This unique offering, launching with the season’s first snow in December 2023, features three bottles of sake, each enshrouded in the freshly fallen snow from the brewery’s locale.

Set amidst mountains where winters bring 3-4 meters of snow, Tsunan Sake Brewery crafts its sake using only local rice and water. This release is designed to share not just the sake, but also the environmental gifts of snow. The “Gosetsu Set” comprises three limited-edition bottles of sake, nestled in the snow that blankets the brewery, providing a distinctive touch of Tsunan’s winter.

Tsunan Sake Brewery, situated in a prime snowfall area in Niigata Prefecture, brews exclusively during the snowy season. This timing is strategic, as it allows for better microbial control and cleaner air, essential for high-quality sake production. The snow-laden brewery serves as a natural cold storage, ensuring optimal conditions for sake preservation. Moreover, the abundance of meltwater is crucial for providing the pure water needed in sake brewing.

In Tsunan, farmers who complete rice harvesting in winter partake in sake brewing. The region’s heavy snowfall brings daily challenges, fostering a community spirit of mutual assistance.

Sake enjoyed post-snow-clearing deepens community bonds and enhances communication.

From the heavy snowfall region of Tsunan, Tsunan Sake Brewery brings you the “Gosetsu Set”, featuring three unique sake bottles accompanied by the plentiful snow enveloping the brewery.
