Sudo Honke is a sake brewery with over 850 years of history and is affectionately known as the "Forest Brewery" (Mori no Kura) in its local Obara area, named after a large tree on its premises. The brewery exclusively produces daiginjo sake using only top-grade, first-class rice harvested in Kasama City. Uniquely in Japan, all of their sake—whether unpasteurized or pasteurized—is entirely unfiltered. Sudo Honke has long had a global outlook, earning prestigious awards at international competitions and receiving high praise from wine experts around the world.
