Tamagawa Shuzo Co.,Ltd

The Meguro family, later founders of the brewery, is said to have moved from the Aizu domain to Uonuma (former Sumon village) around this time, serving as the district's chief village headman.

Gorousuke Meguro, the sixth head of the Meguro family, received official permission to brew sake from the Takada domain lord Matsudaira Mitsunaga in Itoigawa, marking the brewery's founding.

The thatched-roof Meguro residence, later designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan, was built.

In the first year of the Taisho era, a storehouse was relocated from the Meguro family residence to the brewery's current site, where 'Tamagawaya', the predecessor of Tamagawa Shuzo, was established.
