Since then the Sudo family had produced sake. And over the centuries, this brand has acquired the most prestige among other sake brands in Japan. Notably, the BBC and the Financial Times have both done reports on the Sudo family. In addition, bottles of Sudohonke (the full name of the brand) are now served in the residence of the Prime Minister of Japan. Last year, this sake was even presented to guests at the G7 summit in Ise, Mie Prefecture. This is rare because, in general, only the products produced in the host prefectures are used for these summits.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The motherland of the Sudohonke sake is very far from Mi\u00e9. To find it, one has to go much further to the northern part of the country, one and a half hours from Tokyo, to the prefecture of Ibaraki. This sake brewery did not move during the company’s 876-year history. “Not only had it not changed, but we wanted to use the same water,” says Omori, who guides us on our visit.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n And to make this water perfect, you have to pay attention to everything. “Every tree, every flower planted near the source, influences the quality of the water.\u201d The origin of Sudohonke is found in the mountains surrounding the village. “The water in the estate is so famous that people come from afar to get and use it for different purposes,” says Omori.<\/p>\nDirection Ibaraki<\/strong><\/h2>\n
