概要

Sudo Honke in Kasama, Ibaraki is one of the oldest continuously operating breweries in Japan, tracing its origins to 1141. The brewery's philosophy centers on traditional methods, natural farming, and long aging. Their Sato no Homare brand and vintage koshu demonstrate that sake can develop extraordinary complexity over years and decades of maturation.
