Yoneda
Yoneda is a traditional Japanese mirin brewery based in Shimane Prefecture, specializing in premium hon mirin made using centuries-old techniques. The company is dedicated to preserving authentic mirin craftsmanship at a time when additive-free, naturally brewed mirin has become increasingly rare.
Yoneda produces mirin by hand using only simple, high-quality ingredients: Japanese glutinous rice, rice koji, and sake lees shochu. Their shochu is distilled in the traditional method from their own flagship sake, Toyo no Aki, a process that contributes to the depth and complexity of their mirin.
Through slow fermentation and careful brewing, Yoneda mirin develops a rich sweetness, layered umami, and refined aroma that sets it apart from mass-produced alternatives. The result is a true hon mirin with balance and character.
Committed to tradition and quality, Yoneda continues to craft mirin without additives or preservatives, offering an authentic expression of Japanese fermentation culture rooted in time, skill, and patience.
