About
Founded 1910 in Hekinan (Aichi), Sumiya Bunjirou Shoten produces 'Mikawa Mirin' — a heritage hon-mirin made by a 60-day fermentation followed by 1–3 years of ageing. One of the few remaining producers using the traditional shōchū-and-koji method without added sugars. Substantial export business through specialised Japanese-food traders; the de-facto reference mirin for Western chefs sourcing premium hon-mirin.
