Mizunami: The Home of Sake and Ceramics

Mizunami is a town set in a rich natural environment, with 70% of its land area covered by forests. The naturally blessed town is home to the Wakaba and Nakashima sake breweries, which have been brewing high quality sake for close to 300 years. Both breweries use locally grown rice as the main ingredient of their products, so visitors can drink their fill of delicious sake made by local artisans with locally sourced water and rice.
Mizunami has also been famous since ancient times as one of the localities where Mino-yaki ceramics are made. Although production has diminished in recent years, the tradition of Mizunami as a source of Mino-yaki remains strong. Because Mizunami is a ceramics town, it’s a place where visitors can find exactly the local wares they’re looking for, from sake cups and decanters to serving dishes for snacks. Won’t you please enjoy a taste of delicious locally brewed sake served in a locally produced Mino-yaki cup?
