“I’m a big enthusiast of the Sohomare brewery. This brew is terrific with food. It whispers, “I’m not here to compete with your dishes; I’m here to compliment them.” Karakuchi means “dry.” If that’s what you’re looking for then look no further. Enjoy.”
“I am a big fan of Sohomare 惣譽特別純米生酛 tokubetsu junmai kimoto. The karakuchi 辛口 label is just that “slightly dryer.” I enjoy the wide range of premium sake available in the USA. We have earthy brews (Kamoizumi Shusen, Philip Harper’s Tamagawa, light, fruit-forward ginjos, such as, Kikusui 菊水純米吟醸, and a few koshu 古酒 aged (Daruma Masamune 10yr). But with most foods, a premium brew that walks ride down the middle of the street is my first choice. Neither sweet nor too dry, Sohomare karakuchi says, “I’m here to add to your wonderful dishes not to compete with them.”
Great by itself; however, this is a real winner when pairing with sushi, pasta, and salads.”
“Sohomare is your perfect food-friendly premium sake. It was not created to standout shouting arrogantly, “Hey! Look at me!” This was brewed to compliment your dishes not to compete with them. Sake that subtlety whispers “dry” (片口) is the way to go when you’re proud of your cooking. Sweet sake served with some foods can bark too loudly; it potentially scrabbles the palette. Rich, earthy brews can also distract from the food flavors that you want your guests to enjoy. Whether it’s sushi or salad, serve Sohomare. While I typically encourage folks to present premium sake in beautiful shuki 酒器, Sohomare can enhance your dinner experience when presented in quality wine glasses. Kanpai 乾杯 Enjoy.”
