Nakashima (Brauerei)

Mizunami, Gifu

The Nakashima brewery, a small family brewery in the mountains of Gifu prefecture, already tells an over 300 years old history. It was in the middle of Edo period in 1702, when the founder brewed the first Kozaemon. With the purpose to cultivate the lands along Toki River and to raise the value of rice grown here, the residents brew with a lot of passion and conviction since the very beginning.

A huge number of those small sake breweries, called ‘Jizake’ (or micro or boutique breweries), had to abandon the field to big and powerful companies dominating the sake making. Not this little pearl. Nakashima Brewery made their way and is still brewing sake with a rich sophisticated taste, enjoyed and valued by local people and overseas.
