Premium Dry Sake
This masterful interpretation of the “dry sake” genre is crystal clear and bracingly delicious. Made with Yamadanishiki rice, it has everything you look for in a junmai: flavour, clarity and impeccable structure.
Sohomare Sake Brewery
Tochigi Prefecture
Rich, expressive flavour, genteel clarity and balance—these are the characteristics of sakes from Sohomare, established by the Kono family in 1872. Unusually, Sohomare uses “Designation A” Yamadanishiki rice not only for its premium “Kimoto Junmai Daiginjo” but for its “Tokubetsu Kimoto” and “Karakuchi” junmai labels as well.
