What kind of brewery is Miyakobijin Shuzo?
The brewery was formed in 1945 when ten breweries in the south of Awaji Island merged. The Miyakobijin name came from one of them and is said to have originally been the trademark of a Fushimi brewer, chosen for its pleasing sound. It has kept yamahai brewing, combining it with sokujo, and in recent years shifted from quantity to quality, reviving tenbin shibori pressing and brewing junmai ginjo from organic, pesticide-free rice grown with aigamo farming.
