View of Handa Canal and the brewery

Museum housed in the actual buildings of the sake brewery whereBlessed by a temperate climate and quality underground water, Handa had a ﬂourishing industry of brewing vinegar and Japanesesake from ancient times. The productsʼ journey to Edo (the old name for Tokyo) and other parts of Japan began from Handa Canal. Sakebrewing ﬂourished from the Edo Period. The sake made in the Chita region, with Handa at its center, was called “Chugoku Meishu,” andwas much loved even in Edo. The ﬁrst person to take the large quantities of sake lees produced in the process of brewing sake and use
it to make genuine sake lees vinegar was Matazaemon Nakano I, the founder of Japanʼs top vinegar manufacturer, MIZKAN Group. He
invented sake lees vinegar, which was cheaper and more ﬂavorsome than rice vinegar, which had been the mainstream until then. This
invention became the impetus for the tremendous popularity that nigiri-zushi was soon to enjoy.
The scene of the vinegar brewery enclosed in black walls alongside Handa Canal still bears traces of the days when it sent out into
the world “the vinegar of Bishu Handa,” which was so highly prized in Edo.

sake was made for some 200 years. Displays include tools andmaterials from more than 300 years of sake brewing history. Visitors
can taste and purchase Japanese sake, including Nakano SakeBreweryʼs famous label, Kunizakari, and other products.
