Sohomare

"Sohomare" is the flagship brand representing Tochigi Prefecture, continuing since the brewery's founding in 1872. The name embodies the brewer's noble wish to be a "proud sake for all people."
The most significant feature of Sohomare lies in the traditional "Kimoto brewing" revived in 2001. Under the banner of "Kimoto Renaissance," they pursue a method that spares no effort in cultivating natural lactic acid bacteria. This achieves an elegant, firm taste where multi-layered umami and crisp acidity are in perfect harmony.
Using the finest Yamada Nishiki and locally grown Gohyaku-mangoku rice, its quality is highly acclaimed both domestically and internationally. While its sophisticated profile can be enjoyed chilled, serving it warm causes the deep umami and acidity derived from Kimoto to bloom further, enhancing the flavor of food to the ultimate degree. It is a brand that follows the true path of sake, fusing historical dignity with modern sensibility.
