Mihara has long been known as a famous sake brewing region. Located in the centre of Sanyo at the coast of the Seto Inland Sea and developed as a castle town built by Kobayakawa Takakage (小早川隆景), it was an important trade hub for goods transported by sea and land, facilitating the development of a flourishing sake industry in Mihara. In the Edo period, most sake was unrefined, but Mihara already brewed sake, similar to modern brewing standards.
Traditionally, sake brewing in Hiroshima is characterised by 'soft-water brewing', using soft water with low mineral content, which allows fermentation to proceed gently and produces a gentle and mellow taste on the palate.
