This sake is made by the Sudo Honke brewery which is the oldest sake brewery in Japan(the history is over 860 years!). Located in the Ibaraki prefecture, this brewery is well known to wine connoisseurs too because the Sudo Honke brewery was awarded three prizes at IWC (International Wine Challenge) in 2007. It has an aroma that is simply transcendent. From the moment the cap is opened I can't think about anything else, it is light and smooth yet deep, complex, and purely romantic. Most people say "wow" when they sip this sake for the first time – it's Jean-Georges favorite sake!
