Our latest release as part of Signature Series, SORA is our very first and only Honjozo sake.

A crisp, light-bodied honjozo sake, aromatic with a clean dry finish.

SORA meaning “SKY” is a traditional sake made with a small addition of distilled alcohol to lift, lighten and brighten. What makes this sake even more special is the alcohol added comes entirely from our very own refermented sake kasu, which is then distilled into the most beautiful sustainable spirit. A perfect cyclical zero waste use of the sole byproduct from our sake brewery.

Carefully brewed low & slow resulting in a super-clean savoury sipper, with notes of apricot, almond and shiitake.

A versatile sake - enjoy at 10C or 50C with soba noodles, scallops or steak.

Clear. Alcohol noticeable on the aroma, less so in the taste. Dryish, with some nut, vanilla, cream and chalk followed by a umami soy sauce taste. Intriguing and enjoyable whilst drinking but left an odd and slightly unpleasant aftertaste.
