MASUMI Sake (Miyasaka Brewing Co. Ltd.)
Japan
About
The Miyasaka family founded the Masumi Sake Brewery in 1662 in Suwa, at the center of the Japan Alps in Nagano Prefecture. The name Masumi is from a national treasure, Masumi no Kagami, meaning “mirror of truth.” Already a famous gold-medal winner, the brewery achieved even greater recognition in 1946 with the discovery of a new yeast variety called Number 7, which continues to be the most widely-used sake yeast in the world.
