Production Notes

The production process of Soto Junmai Sake Black Label is a showcase of Japanese traditions perfected over centuries. Firstly, the finest quality rice from the Niigata prefecture, known for its pure water and ideal climate, is milled to remove bran and germ, thereby retaining only 60% of the grain’s heart. This milled rice is then washed and steamed to prepare for the fermentation process. The steamed rice, water, and Koji (a beneficial mold) are mixed to form a mash, initiating the dual fermentation process. Over a period of about a month, the rice starch converts into sugar, which simultaneously turns into alcohol. The end product of this labor-intensive process, Soto Junmai Sake Black Label, echoes the craftsmanship of Japanese brewers. Whether you plan to buy this premium Sake or just browse through the online shop, remember this label signifies centuries of brewing wisdom.
