Sudo Honke (Brewery)

Sudo Honke is the oldest Sake Brewery in Japan.
Established in 1141, the President is the 55th generation Master Brewer of his family to take over the Brewery.
The sake recipe is guarded with extreme care and pride.

Kakunko - (pronounced : Kah Koon Koh) Their flagship Sake is undeniably the most aromatic sake I've ever tastes. Over-the-top bouquet and even stronger flowery aftertaste lingers in the back of your throat. Simply said, Amazing.
Polished down to 27%, the Yamadaho rice is extremely rare and therefore extremely expensive.

A bottle of Kakunko easily runs $300+ per bottle (720ml).
But the experience is worth the splurge.
To give you some reference... Robert Parker gave it a 91


The bottle in the middle is Kakunko.
