At the sake-tasting corner, "Koshinomuro", you can sample close to 100 varieties of sake from all of Echigo’s breweries. The sake-tasting machine is lined with a variety of sakes - choose the brand you want to try, insert money to turn it on, and push the button to pour delicious local sake. A wide range of salts are also available to enjoy your sake along with.
