Koshimeijo Co.,Ltd
Nigata- 代表銘柄
- Yamashiroya
- 酒蔵について
- Tochio, Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture. Surrounded by deep mountains where several meters of snow accumulate in winter, Koshimeijo has continued brewing sake for approximately 180 years. The pure, clear meltwater flowing from the mountains, the severe cold, and the climate ideal for rice cultivation. These natural blessings are the very foundation of Koshimeijo's sake. Yamashiroya's commitment to sake brewing lies in its kimoto-style fermentation. This traditional method spares no time or effort, harnessing nature's power to craft sake. Prioritizing essence over efficiency, it draws out the inherent structure and depth of the sake. Our goal is sake that, while kimoto-brewed, offers a clear mouthfeel and transparent flavor. Not a sake that asserts itself, but one that enhances the deliciousness of food and invites continued drinking. Like the quiet of snow-covered mountains, it embodies not flashiness, but a strong core and purity. Koshimeijo will continue, together with this land's nature, to brew sake born of the mountains and returning to them.

地元おすすめの飲食店
You can enjoy freshly fried Tochio-age. Tochio-age is a specialty of the Tochio area of Nagaoka City, where the tofu, which has been drained of its water content, is fried twice, once in low-temperature oil and once in high-temperature oil, making it crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Tochio-age is now exported not only throughout Japan but also to foreign countries. Tochio-age is topped with green onions, dried bonito flakes, a dash of shichimi (seven spice) togarashi (chili pepper), and finally a sprinkling of special dashi soy sauce.
Creative Japanese cuisine by the young owner, Yudai Ishihara, who trained at a famous Tokyo restaurant for 20 years. While staying true to the basics, he also creates dishes infused with a lot of "playfulness," as the name of the restaurant suggests. Another attraction of the restaurant is that it stocks not only local sake, but also a wide variety of famous sake from all over Japan. Please stop by when you visit Nagaoka.
This locally-oriented bar serves dishes using local vegetables, meats, and Tochio-age (fried fish). The image of a bar tends to lead one to believe that they only serve wine, but in fact they also have a wide variety of local sake. The special spare ribs and pasta with blue crab cream are exquisite.
The restaurant "Yamaya," located in front of Nagaoka Station, serves brands like Ichijo and Yamashiroya. It’s popular with many people for its delicious, hearty, and affordable food.
