Translated, ‘Miyabi’ means refinement and grace.

It’s perfect to enjoy alongside its sister sake, ‘Miyabi no Tomo,’ which showcases a different stage of the pressing process. ‘Nakadori’ is made using only the most elegant, delicate fractions, the pure heart of the press, while ‘Miyabi’ includes a broader range of pressings, giving it more richness and body.

Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten, makers of the award-winning 'Zaku' brand of sake, was founded in 1869 and is located in Suzuka, Mie Prefecture, Japan.

Suzuka is fortunate to be blessed with a natural environment ideal for sake brewing. Cool, clear water from the Suzuka Mountains springs forth into the vast Ise Plain, where rice of the highest quality grows. It is with this rice and water that Suzuka’s delicious sake has long been made. It is perhaps no coincidence that Japan’s most sacred shrine, Ise Jingu, lies in Mie Prefecture where sake has been long intertwined with Shinto rituals, both an inseparable part of daily life. Even today, those unchanged rituals are still performed at Ise Jingu, with sake fulfilling its role as a sacred drink of the gods. The brewery believes it is their destiny to brew good sake here.
