    Miyakotsuru Shuzo is a sake brewery located in the Fushimi District of Kyoto City, approximately 592 meters from Tambabashi Station.
     Founded in 1970, it is relatively new; however, its brand name "Miyakotsuru" has been inherited since 1840 (the 11th year of the Tenpo era), boasting a long and rich history.
     The brewery typically has no seating, and visitors generally stop by for purchasing purposes.
    One of the most popular products from this brewery is "Miyakotsuru Junmai Ginjo," which is a junmai ginjo sake with a polishing ratio of 60%.
     It is recommended to be enjoyed chilled.
     Known for its sweet flavor, the first sip delights with fruity sweetness, while the aftertaste remains refreshingly crisp.
     This well-balanced taste has earned high praise from many sake enthusiasts.
     It also features a characteristic flavor reminiscent of "subtly sweet grapes," making it an enjoyable choice even for those new to sake.
    Miyakotsuru Shuzo continues to create high-quality sake despite its small scale, which is part of its charm.
     Currently, there are 23 breweries that are members of the Fushimi Sake Brewery Association, which includes not only large companies but also many small-scale breweries, each offering its own unique sake.
