Ran no Homare is the flagship brand brewed by Yamanari Shuzo since its founding in 1804, a distinguished sake named by the Confucian scholar Sakatani Roro from the Analects expression 'Shutsuran no Homare' (the honor of surpassing one's master).
The name embodies the teaching that a disciple surpassing their master brings honor to the teacher, reflecting the deep historical ties of this brewery with Shibusawa Eiichi.
Brewed using underground water from the Oda River (medium-hard water) that springs in Yoshii-cho, Ibara City, it is crafted through cold brewing from January to March using traditional Bitchu toji techniques.
Using rare traditional Japanese iron kettles (wagama) to steam rice, they create ideal 'dry steam' that brings out the natural umami of the rice.
The daiginjo with 40% rice polishing has won awards at the National New Sake Competition, and the Josen received an Excellence Award in the warm sake category, showcasing the deep versatility of flavors enjoyable both chilled and warmed.
