- 酒蔵について
- Founded in 1922, the brewery is located in Mitsui County, Fukuoka Prefecture, along the clear waters of the Koishiwara River, which flows into Kyushu's largest river, the Chikugo River, in the Chikugo Plain, a region of idyllic rice paddies. Since its establishment, the brewery has continued to make the most of the power of nature to create authentic sake. In 1990, when the storage of sake in single bottles and refrigerated storage were not yet common, Tokutei Meishu sake was already stored in refrigerated storage. In 2025, 23 years after he became the toji of the brewery, he won 22-1 in the National New Sake Competition, and in recent years he has won the competition for 14 consecutive years. I brew sake with confidence because I don't want people to think that I can only make yogurt-like sake with a strong acidity or brown-colored aged sake. We can make sake that wins awards and competitions, but we also make sake that tastes good with food! I would like to brew sake with a wide range of tastes that can be enjoyed from the beginning to the end of a course meal.

地元おすすめの飲食店
If you want to eat mizutaki in Fukuoka, there is no doubt about it! I consider this restaurant to have the strongest taste of mizutaki soup in Fukuoka. The taste of the thick chicken broth and green onions is indescribable. We also make our own original label sake from Mitsui no Kotobuki.
Upper class izakaya. You can enjoy most of Fukuoka's specialties such as mizutaki, motsu nabe, sesame mackerel, etc., but be sure to try the seasonal sashimi and salted blue crab. You will not be able to stop drinking sake.
River Wild Ham Factory has won a gold medal for "King Bacon" and a bronze medal for "Zematis (sausage)" at the Frankfurt International Ham and Sausage World Championships in Germany. The pigs are raised in the back of the store, and since the surrounding area is a fruit-growing region, they raise "persimmon pigs," "grape pigs," "peach pigs," etc. Among them, "ginjo pigs" are highly recommended since they are raised on a diet of Mitsui Kotobuki sake lees. (Each pork is only available for a limited time, so it is not always on sale.)
It is often introduced in Korea and Taiwan as the best place to drink sake in Fukuoka! The owner, who knows a lot about Japanese sake, and the employees who speak fluent Korean are very happy to serve you. The owner is an expert on Japanese sake, and the staff speaks fluent Korean. The owner knows Japanese sake very well, and his employees are fluent in Korean! Even if you don't know each other, you will always have a good time drinking here!
Speaking of recommended izakaya in Fukuoka! This is a restaurant that always comes up in the "izakaya" list. Reservations are only taken for one month, so even though it is a popular restaurant, it is relatively easy to get a reservation if you make a reservation a month in advance. When you take a picture of the owner, he always strikes an interesting pose.
Sister restaurant of Torita, a famous mizutaki restaurant. The "Meida Salmon roe and egg omelet" is a popular menu item at this restaurant, and many customers from overseas line up from the time the restaurant opens. My own recommendation is the Unadama (eel ball)! Unagi (eel) is also a popular food in Fukuoka and goes well with Fukuoka's sweet soy sauce.

Ryokan in Akizuki, which is called Kyushu's little Kyoto. The garden and cuisine are both wonderful.
