Kanpai SORA Dry Honjozo Sake is a crisp, light-bodied sake brewed in South London, offering a clean and aromatic profile with a modern British twist on traditional Japanese brewing. SORA, meaning “sky,” is Kanpai’s first honjozo-style sake, crafted with a small addition of distilled alcohol to lift and brighten the flavour. What makes it unique is that the added alcohol is sustainably distilled from the brewery’s own refermented sake kasu, embracing a zero-waste ethos. Brewed slowly at low temperatures using Akebono rice polished to 70% and #901 Japanese yeast, it delivers a super-clean, savoury sipper. On the nose, it presents delicate aromas of almond, apricot, jasmine, and chamomile. The palate is dry and refreshing, with notes of dried stone fruit and a subtle umami undertone. It finishes crisp and clean, making it a versatile choice for pairing with soba noodles, scallops, steak, or smoky barbecue. SORA is a contemporary honjozo sake that celebrates the best of Japan, brewed with London spirit.
