    Nagano Pref. Iyamashi Iyama 2227
    This brewery was awarded first prize in the Kanto-Shinetsu Sake Awards 2013 held by the Kanto-Shinetsu Regional Taxation Bureau of the National Tax Agency of Japan for its Mizuo sake. The brewery produces great tasting local sake using locally grown rice and high-quality water. The water used in the brewing process is spring water from the foot of Mt. Mizuo in Nozawa Onsen Village. This natural mineral water has a distinct freshness to it making for a great tasting sake. Visitors are also welcome to try some of the sake in the shop. A good bottle to try is the Mizuo Tokubetsu Honjozo (special genuine brewed sake). It’s a well-balanced dry sake to be enjoyed either chilled or warm. The brewery itself is open to visitors every year in April. Booking is required so please check ahead of time.

Nagano Areas

around-area-map

Nagano prefecture is an exciting mix of mountains, hot spring monkeys, and preserved Edo history. At the heart of the Japanese Alps, Nagano is one of the country’s most popular destinations, whether in winter for its snow sports and the much-loved Jigokudani Monkey Park or in the warmer months for discovering the undulating hills on foot. For fantastic Edo architecture, head to the Kiso Valley for a 60-kilometer stretch of quaint wooden buildings that marked the Nakasendo route 200 years ago.
