SUWA MIKOTSURU SHUZO

Brewery: Suwa Mikotsuru Sake Brewery

Founded: 2018


The brewery was founded at the foot of Suwa Taisha Shrine in the early Taisho era. The local sake was named "Mikozuru" in honor of the crane that appeared on Lake Suwa, which is not a place where cranes normally fly. With a deep respect for local craftsmanship and natural ingredients, the brewery produces small-batch sake using pure alpine spring water and carefully selected rice. Known for its clean, elegant flavors and a deep connection to regional heritage, Suwa Mikotsuru blends time-honored brewing techniques with a modern sensibility, making it a beloved name among sake enthusiasts.
