This brewery, located at the foot of the Shiga Highlands in northern Nagano, was founded in 1805. The name "Tamamura" comes from Joshu Tamamura, where the founder trained in sake brewing. For over 210 years, its sake—crafted using the area's pristine water, pure air, and cold climate—has been cherished by many. Rather than producing standardized sake for the masses, the brewery values the unique character of the region, striving to create distinctive, high-quality sake on a small scale. With a commitment to excellence, it aims to make sake that people would travel to enjoy, contributing to the charm and appeal of the local area.
