Layered complex deliciousness

Think of the deep, layered color of indigo—there is a warmth and a coolness that coexists. This balance of layered nuttiness and juiciness can only be achieved by careful mastering of traditional brewing skills and innovative blending not commonly explored to this level. Enjoy on its own or with food, and in many different temperatures and occasions, and it will reveal a side to you perhaps a bit imperceptibly.

Sohomare Sake Brewery

Sohomare Sake Brewery founded in 1872 is currently owned and operated by the fifth generation Mr. Jun Kono. Since their founding, they have strived to provide well-loved sake locally, and their original, quality sake to friends globally. Their sake making is defined by their “kimoto renaissance” with commitment to the orthodox kimoto brewing method since 2001. Sourcing the best quality rice and using the water from Kinugawa River, and employing their particular skill in aging and blending, adds to the elegant layered complexity in their sake you simply cannot obtain anywhere else.
