Established in 1673, Terada Honke have been brewing continuously for over 345 years. They are purveyors of only natural yeast brewing, working almost exclusively with traditional Kimoto & Yamahai starter methods.

Nanja Monja is a vibrant and robust style of sake from Terada-san with hints of spice. The palate is layered and textured with bold acidity and a long finish. Great with richer dishes and soups.

Producer Profile

Terada Honke

Most of Chiba prefecture lies on the hilly Bōsō Peninsula, a rice farming region, the East coast of which is known as the Ninety-Nine League Plain, an especially productive area. The Kuroshio Current [or Black Tide] flows around Chiba’s shores, which keeps it relatively warmer in winter and cooler in summer than neighbouring Tokyo.
