Nikko Homare

"Nikko Homare" is the flagship brand representing Watanabe Sahei Shoten, founded in 1842. The history of over 180 years and the natural blessings of the World Heritage site, Nikko, are condensed into this single bottle.
Using clear groundwater from the Nikko Mountains and local "Gohyaku-mangoku" rice from Nikko City, it embodies the brewery's true essence: a profound commitment to Junmai sake. Brewed only with rice, water, and rice koji, Nikko Homare is characterized by an exceptionally clear taste without any miscellaneous flavors.
The crisp finish derived from Gohyaku-mangoku rice harmonizes with a gentle aroma reflecting the Nikko terroir, making it a perennial favorite as a Nikko souvenir. You can enjoy its refreshing coolness when chilled or discover the swelling umami of rice when served lukewarm. It perfectly complements Nikko's local delicacies, especially Yuba (tofu skin) dishes, making it the definitive sake to fully experience the taste of Nikko.
