Tuxedo
Contemporary rendition of old kimoto style, achieved through careful blending and ageing. Soft yet poised at first sip, then body and flavour depth—all enhanced by a subdued, elegant aroma. A masculine daiginjo expression.

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.
