Mikawa Mirin

The production is exclusively artisanal (1.8 kg of rice is used to make 1.8 liters of mirin) and is done with great care. The shochu used (distilled rice alcohol), rich in fragrance, is also made within the company so that it blends perfectly with the mirin. Mirin is a sweet rice wine, known as an essential seasoning in Japanese cuisine. It is the essence of rice’s sweetness and umami, extracted by the power of cultivation.

Our artisan producer of Mikawa mirin, Sumiya Bunjiro Brewery, is a rare company specializing in the production of authentic mirin, established in the Mikawa region, Aichi Prefecture, known for its warm climate and quality water sources, making it makes it an ideal terroir for making a high quality mirin.

To make its mirin, Sumiya uses exclusively “glutis” rice (sweet rice), kôji yeast and distilled rice alcohol. Almost all mirin on the market contains artificial alcohol and starch

Unlike other mirin on the market, the hon mirin that we offer has a minimum maturation of 12 months (one day to a few weeks for other mirin), and requires 1 kg of rice to make one liter of mirin (150g at 300g on average for mirin sold on the market).
