The Miyasaka family founded the Masumi Sake Brewery in 1662 at the centre of the Japan Alps,
a region famous for its pure water. Masumi  is in fact named for a national treasure called "the mirror of purity,"
and in the past 300 years we have strived to live up to our namesake by brewing the finest quality sake using  
only the purest ingredients. The proof that our efforts have paid off can be seen in the many Gold Medals we
have won in national sake competitions. It is also evident in the discovery at the Masumi Brewery
of a superior variety of yeast, registered as "Yeast Number Seven" by the National Sake Brewing Institute,
that continues to be the most widely-used sake yeast in Japan.

This sake's complex fragrance and flavorful tail earn it our "black label" of quality.
One of the central pillars of the Masumi brand.
