We study the magnetization plateau state of the three-leg spin-tube in the strong rung coupling region, wheresymmetry breaking and the low-energy chirality degree of freedom play crucial roles. On the basis of the effective chirality model and density matrix renormalization group, we clarify that, as the leg coupling increases, the chirality liquid with gapless nonmagnetic excitations, the spin-imbalance phase, and the vector-spin-chirality ordered phase emerge without closing the plateau spin gap. The relevance of these results to experiments is also discussed.
