Homare Brewery

【World's Best Title】Experience the essence of 'Homare Sake Brewery' woven with famous water and four seasons

The 'Homare Sake Brewery' is the result of the rich nature of Kitakata and the dedication to sake brewing. In 2015, it won the top prize 'World's Best' at the world's largest wine competition (IWC) in the sake category, competing against 876 brands. The key to sake brewing is the underground water 'Kitakata Famous Water' that springs from the Iide Mountain Range. This soft water brings out a versatile and mellow flavor.

■ Stunning 1,300 tsubo! Japanese garden 'Unrei-an' 
A vast pond-style Japanese garden that borrows the four seasons of Oku-Aizu spreads across the site.
The scenery harmonizing with the heavy black plaster storehouse unique to snow country is a must-see. It is a special space where you can experience the 'climate' in which sake is nurtured with all five senses.

■ 'Maniac' tastings unique to direct management of the brewery 
At the direct sales office overlooking the garden, you can taste more than 10 varieties at any time, but the biggest attraction is the 'brewery exclusive sake' and 'fresh unpasteurized sake' that are not available in general distribution.
You can enjoy the fresh original form that can only be encountered here, unpasteurized.
