Located in Kusunoki-cho, Yokkaichi City, in the northern region of Mie Prefecture, Miyazaki Honten benefits from the pure underground water flowing from the Suzuka mountain range — an ideal environment for sake brewing.
In the past, there were more than thirty sake breweries lining the streets of this town at its peak, but today, only our company carries on that tradition, operating a grand brewery that spans some 8,000 tsubo (about 26,000 square meters).
