Miyazaki Honten is located in Kusunoki-cho, Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture. The brewery was founded in 1846 and has been renowned for its shochu. The area around Kusunoki-cho was famous for its sweet potatoes and the shipping industry to Edo (modern-day Tōkyō). Miyazaki Honten was reorganised as a joint-stock company in 1951. The company produces sake (Daiginjō, Junmai Ginjō, Junmai, Honjōzo, and Futsu-shu), shochu, whiskey, and mirin. It is currently run by Miyazaki Yūta (宮﨑由太) in the seventh generation.
