Founded in 1887, Mikunihare Shuzo is located in Kurobe City in Toyama Prefecture.  Throughout Japan, many breweries utilize water drawn from Top 100 water sources as certified by the Ministry of the Environment.  That said, Mikunihare is the ONLY brewery in which a Top 100 water source springs within the brewery grounds.  In fact, the brewery possesses three distinct springs, each producing water of starkly different character, two of which provide water suitable for sake brewing.  The brewery is currently led by Shingo Iwase, one of fewer than 40 elite sake professionals in the world qualified to judge flaws in sake.
