SHO-KU Hoppe

This exceptional craft sake is brewed at low temperatures. By using Citra hops, it develops a citrus-forward aroma with a lively bitterness, subtle sweetness, and a crisp, refreshing aftertaste. Polyphenols from the hops give this unfiltered sake a pale pink to violet hue. The label features a fox — the symbol of the rice-field deity in Japanese folklore.

The Producer

翔空 SHO-KU

In 2021, Yosuke Tanaka founded this small brewery in the lagoon in the northern part of Niigata. Under the motto "exciting and diverse", this micro brewery produces small batches of different sake. Each batch is unique (only about 500 bottles) for which different types of rice and production methods are tried out. Only products that grow no further than 20 kilometers from the brewery are used. Yosuke Tanaka names his sake SHO-KU and hopes the sake produced in the lagoon will fly into the sky like the migratory birds that congregate in the region and bring smiles to the faces of people around the world. It is exciting to follow the development of the taste of the different batches of this brewery.

UENO GOURMET is the first dealer in Europe importin Yosuke Tanaka's handprint sake and will be presenting further batches in future.

Classification of Premium Sake

For high quality sake, rice is polished prior to processing with the goal of eliminating the bran and protein which encase the starch held at the center of the rice grain. The smaller the rice polishing ratio (expressed as a percentage of the original rice weight), the finer and more aromatic the sake. Learn more about the different classes of of Premium Sake...
