    Overview


    Hishiya Shuzouten is a sake brewery located in Miyako City, Iwate Prefecture, known for producing Japanese sake that is loved by the local community.
     The brewery is approximately 1,950 meters from Miyako Station, making it easily accessible.
     Its business hours are from 08:00 to 17:00 on weekdays, Monday through Friday, with weekends being closed, so it’s advisable to check before visiting.
    One of the brewery's popular brands is "Kainon," which is characterized by its drinkability and lower level of dryness.
     The bottle features a charming design that can be reused as a vase after the sake is finished, offering an enjoyable aesthetic experience as well.
     Additionally, they carry "Senryo Otokuyama Kinin," a one-cup sake that is particularly favored by locals.
     This product does not use broken rice or rice flour, emphasizing the importance of the pure taste of traditional Japanese sake.
    Upon opening, it releases a rich aroma, and when tasted, it creates a tingling sensation that spreads across the tongue.
     Such distinctive flavors are irresistibly appealing to sake enthusiasts.
     It especially caters to those who may not drink much alcohol, as it offers a gentle taste that many customers appreciate.
    Furthermore, this brewery features the notable toji (master brewer) Katsutoshi Tsujimura, who previously worked as a toji at Nishida Shuzo in Aomori Prefecture and played a significant role in popularizing their flagship sake, "Tachizaki.
    " The sake crafted under his expertise and experience is certainly something worth trying.
    At Hishiya Shuzouten, there is an opportunity to encounter wonderful Japanese sake that reflects Japanese culture and regional characteristics.
     I encourage everyone to visit and experience its charm for themselves.
