Sake Brewery Museum, Toko-no-Sakagura
The Kojima Sohonten is a sake brewery founded in 1597 to cater to the Uesugi clan of the Yonezawa Domain. It was one of the few sake brewers that was allowed to make sake during the incessant prohibition orders of the Edo period. At the Sake Brewery Museum, visitors can view various displays, such as the restoration of the residence of the sake brewery and the sake brewing process.
