Mizkan
A vinegar brewery that supported Edomae sushi from behind the scenes. Located in Handa City, Mizkan began its vinegar production in 1804. The first generation, Matazaemon Nakano, encountered the popular Nigiri sushi in Edo and believed that 'kasuzu' (vinegar made from sake lees) would make sushi even more delicious. After returning to Handa and conducting extensive research, the resulting kasuzu gained a reputation for its perfect compatibility with sushi rice. Transported to Edo by sailing ships from the port of Handa, it supported the development of Nigiri sushi culture. For over 200 years since its founding, the tradition of vinegar making has continued uninterrupted. The black-walled storehouses lining the Handa Canal remain a symbol of the city today. At the Mizkan Museum, you can experience this history firsthand.
