FAQ

What is sake AND WAS IS IT MADE FROM?

Sake is a Japanese alcoholic beverage made from fermented rice. It consists of four ingredients; Rice, Water, Koji and Yeast.
Nothing else.

How much alcohol is in sake?

Sake normally sits between 13% to 17% ABV (Alcohol-By-Volume), while there are exceptions.
SOTO Junmai Sake is 14% and SOTO Junmai Daiginjo is 15.5%. 

Is sake gluten-free?

Not all sake is gluten-free. Non-premium sake, also known as futsushu, is allowed to include different additives in the ingredients, and may contain gluten. SOTO Junmai Sake and SOTO Junmai Daiginjo Sake are both gluten-free. This has been certified and is printed on the bottles and cans of SOTO’s products. While premium Japanese Sake tends to be gluten-free, many manufacturers don’t list gluten-free on the labeling. With SOTO, you can be assured that all products are in fact gluten-free.

Where is your sake made?

SOTO Sake Junmai and Junmai Daiginjo are made in the Niigata Prefecture of Japan. Our Limited Edition is made in limited quantities in Yamagata Prefecture in Japan.

How long can I store sake?

Generally, sake should be consumed within about one year from the date the brewery releases it. An equally important factor is the method of storage. If the sake has been kept in the refrigerator (about 41°F) or in a dark and cool place, it is very realistic to expect that the sake could still be in good condition after 2 years or more.
