Imanishi Sake Brewery, founded in 1660, is the only existing sake brewery in Miwa, Nara, which is considered the birthplace of sake brewing. They have been brewing sake "Mimurosugi" (both kanji and hiragana) for over 360 years in Miwa, Nara, where the god of sake resides.
The concept of sake brewing is "Drinking Miwa", and the brewing water uses underground water from Mt. Miwa, the object of worship, which springs from the well in the brewery. The rice is grown together with contract farmers on the same water vein as the brewing water.
The water used for brewing is underground water from the object of worship, Mt. Miwa, and has a soft mouthfeel of slightly soft water. Sake brewing is done carefully with extra effort, and they are thoroughly focused on quality, emphasizing how to stick to each process rather than efficiency.
The kanji "Mimurosugi" (三諸杉) is a brand distributed locally since its founding, brewing a wide range of types unique to the local area, such as fresh and juicy types, types matured to a plump taste, and types with a gorgeous scent.
The hiragana "Mimurosugi" (みむろ杉) is a brand limited to special agents, and the official name is "Mimurosugi Roman Series". It features a calm scent and a beautiful type with fresh rice umami spreading.
