A small brewery with a history of sake brewing dating back to the middle of the Edo period and a strong human touch. A light, umami sake brewed with rice harvested from its own rice fields. Gintagawa's "gin" stands for "examination", the rice field for the rice and the river for the water. The regionally limited special honjozo "Gintagawa" is a light, umami sake made from rice harvested in our own fields and brewed by Echigo toji Ryoichi Emura using subsoil water from the Yonesan mountain system. It can be served cold or lukewarm. It also goes very well with Joetsu's local cuisine.
Gintagawa Junmai Ginjo is made from Takananishiki rice, which is suitable for sake brewing, and brings out the full flavour of the rice. The moderate acidity enhances the taste.

It was introduced in Onino Hitoshi's manga 'First Class Architect Noriko's Design Thoughts', and President Nakazawa was "impressed by the accurate assessment!" President Nakazawa praised it highly.
