Homare “Tatsumigura”
Fukushima prefecture
Tried and tested for your drinking pleasure
Named after an iconic granary in south east Japan that has long been a symbol of reliability and quality. Tatsumigura is the top recommendation from Homare Brewing Company because of its deep, fruit flavor and crisp nose. This sake goes down smooth and gentle, like a small stream babbling through the mountains. We recommend serving this sake in a wine glass to experience its full potential.

Homare Brewing Company
“Homare” means honor or pride, and this brewery was founded in 1918 with the hope to be the pride of the Aizu region’s city of Kitakata. Homare Brewing Company puts strong emphasis on the reproducibility of their sake. They believe that sake brewing is, at its core, the cultivation of yeast. By controlling the yeast, they can get specific flavors and produce those same flavors for a sake year after year. The brewers use this process to craft a wide variety of sake including flavored sake that use Japan’s beloved fruit, such as strawberry and yuzu.
