Soga no Homare

Soga no Homare (The Pride of Soga) is the flagship brand representing the long history of Ishii Jozo. Its name is derived from the Soga area of Odawara, the setting of the epic 'Revenge of the Soga Brothers' from the Kamakura period. Brewed using the secret 'Mochi Yondan Shikomi' technique passed down through generations, it offers a full-bodied umami and robust depth derived from glutinous rice that fills the palate. Far from being just sweet, it is characterized by a firm core of strength and a dignified aftertaste. Crafted with carefully selected rice and Sakawa River water, its flavor is the very pride (homare) of the region—a superlative food-pairing sake cherished for enriching any dining table.
