Sohomare Ki-Itsu “Hyperion” is the pinnacle expression of the kimoto brewing style, a sake of pristine clarity and timeless elegance. Crafted with unwavering dedication and aged gently for seven years, it unfolds with exquisite layers of soft sweetness and refined acidity, culminating in a clean, lingering finish.

Its remarkable depth and complexity are born from the meticulous Kimoto method, a traditional brewing technique that demands patience and precision.

about the brewery

sohomare brewery

Run by the Kono family since its founding, Sohomare Brewery was founded in 1872. Before taking over the business, the fifth generation and current president, Jun Kono, traveled to France in the 1980's to study the language and wine. His time there will later greatly influence the direction of the brewery. Shortly after becoming president in 1989, he decided the primary output of their sakes will be made kimoto style, there by radically differentiating his company from other breweries.
