Miyaizui Meijo
Sharaku by Miyaizumi Shuzo
Miyaizui Shuzo, based in the Aizu region of Fukushima, a land once synonymous with Samurai, initiated the brewing of the Sharaku brand in 2008. Seeking to infuse new vitality into the company's storied history of sake production, Miyaizumi Meijo made significant alterations to the Toji system and meticulously attended to every aspect of the brewing process. This dedication resulted in a harmonious and flavorful brew that swiftly ascended to acclaimed heights shortly after its introduction.
Sharaku has garnered adoration from numerous sake enthusiasts and is undeniably considered a highly sought-after label, even within Japan.
Nestled near Tsuruga Castle, one of Japan's renowned castles, Miyaizumi Meijo is situated. The moniker "Miyaizumi" was originally derived from Mr. Izumi, the former owner of the site where the brewery currently stands.
Comprising two distinct brands, "Sharaku" and "Miyaizumi," Miyaizumi Meijo embodies each with a unique essence. Sharaku embraces seasonal branded rice to embark on novel challenges and ventures while upholding cherished traditions.
SakeTrend takes immense pride and privilege in offering Sharaku as a captivating addition to our esteemed portfolio in our store!
