The Mikawa brewery was founded in 1887, in the east of Fukui, a city located in the prefecture of the same name, Fukui. This family owned brewery that has been existing for 6 generations was almost entirely destroyed in 1948, following the Fukui earthquake. The 6th generation of brewer, Kinya Mikawa and his spouse Kumiko, took over the brewery after major reconstruction work. While Mrs Mikawa is in charge of the store located in the town of Koinazu, Mr Mikawa is in charge of the largest part of sake brewing of the Mikawa Brewery to ensure that the sake are up to his standards and expectations regarding taste.
