Initiatives Niigata Prefectual Sake Research Institute
Two reasons why Niigata Prefectural Sake Research Institute is the best in Japan
It has a license to make sake.Even a sake manufacturing research institute cannot manufacture sake without a national license.
It is a research institute only for sake production.In other prefectures, there is a sake department among research institutes for food in general.
For these two reasons, the Niigata Brewery Experiment Station is considered the best in Japan. The Niigata Brewery Experiment Station was founded in 1930. It was established as a research and guidance institute by Niigata Prefecture in response to the demands of the Niigata sake brewing industry at the time, such as improving the quality of Niigata sake, training sake brewing workers, and improving the rice used for sake brewing (sake rice). In 5, it was reconstructed into a two-story reinforced concrete building, and in March 1981, a new one-story wooden building, the Niigata Sake Training Center, was built, which continues to this day. It is located in a quiet pine forest scenic area overlooking the Sea of Japan in Niigata City. Currently, there are six researchers who are engaged in the testing and research of Niigata Seishu, a type of sake made from Niigata Tanrei.
