ake Brewery was started in 1882.

創業以来、北アルプスの雪解け水が地下を100年かけて湧き出ている水を、仕込水として、酒造りを続けています。 時代の流れを取り入れながらも、昔ながらの手法を大切に、「毎日気軽にのんでいただける美味しいお酒」をお届けしたい。 蔵人たちはこの気持ちを持って毎日酒造りに取り組んでいます。これが、皇国晴酒造が大切にしている酒造りのこころです。


Since its establishment, the brewery has continued to brew sake using water from the melting snow of the Northern Alps that has been gushing underground for 100 years as the brewing water.
We want to deliver “delicious sake that can be enjoyed easily every day,” while keeping up with the trends of the times and respecting traditional methods.
This is what the brewers strive for every day.
This is the heart of the sake brewing process that we at Mikunihare Sake Brewery value.
