Mikunihare Shuzo

Mikunihare Shuzo, located in Ikuji, Kurobe City, is unique as the only brewery in Japan with a spring from the 'Top 100 Springs' (selected by the Ministry of the Environment) bubbling up directly on its premises.
They use pristine water that has traveled underground for 100 years after melting from the Northern Alps. This purity and clarity form the foundation of their sake.
The flagship brand 'Maboroshi no Taki' (Phantom Waterfall) is named after a legendary, hidden waterfall in the upper reaches of the Kurobe River. Under the leadership of Yukari Iwase, Toyama's first female Toji, the brewery crafts sake that maximizes the characteristics of this famous water, pursuing a crisp yet mellow flavor. Through brands like 'Iwase' and 'Maboroshi no Taki,' they continue to share the charm of Kurobe, the land of legendary water, with the world.
