Mikawa area in Aichi prefecture is blessed with natural water and a mild climate suitable for brewing ”mirin”, and has been an active production area for more than 200 years. Even today, the area is the home to ”mirin” manufacturing with the largest number of ”mirin” brewers in Japan. Among these, ”Sumiya Bunjiro Brewery” is an old establishment founded in 1910 that continues the traditional manufacturing method. They also introduced the industrial manufacturing method after the War, but the focus is on the ”mirin” made in the traditional method, using glutinous rice, rice malt and distilled rice spirit alone. Steamed glutinous rice and rice malt are prepared together with distilled spirit, saccharified and matured, pressed, and after a long period of maturation, becomes ”mirin”. The alcohol content is about 14 degrees, and is quite strong. Read more about their process here
