The sakes crafted in this region are crafted from a variety of food rice and is created to marry well with the fresh seafood from the region. Although the region does not produce high numbers of sake wines, the breweries in the Miyagi prefecture craft exquisite and high quality sakes. The rice varieties used in sakes created in this region include Kura no Hana, and Hitombore.
