The sweet aroma quickly fades into a sharp, refreshing acidity.
And you can’t help but wonder "where on earth does that acidity come from? Is it wine?” The reason why Gonka series we created was because Nondo wants to express the true character of their land capturing the primal taste of raw rice.
The real flavor of rice comes from the red bran, which is packed with nutrients, 10 to 40 times more than white rice. Without it, the richness of the land couldn’t be truly be expressed.
Just like winemakers who grow their own grapes to craft wine that reflects the terroir, some sake brewers also grow their own rice. Nondo is among the first brewery who cultivate 100% of their own rice and brew sake entirely from it.
The heart of Sasaki’s toji work and of the team behind both the rice fields and the brewery, the simple motto is: “Pursue the full potential of rice.”

About Nondo Sake Brewery

Nondo is a sake brewery located in the northern part on Japan, in Tono city, Iwate Prefecture. Established in 2011, Nondo is dedicated to exploring the full potential of rice by producing additive-free methods, nurturing rice in a manner that respects the soil and environment.
Nondo's philosophy centers on transitioning from merely consuming rice as food to enjoying it as a beverage. They prioritize cultivating rice using natural, pesticide-free farming techniques, ensuring that their products are both delicious and safe for daily consumption. By valuing the soil and employing sustainable agricultural practices, Nondo aims to create rice drinks that are gentle on the body and free from additives.
Nondo offers a range of traditional rice-based beverages, with a particular focus on doburoku, an unfiltered sake that retains the rice solids, resulting in a rich and textured drink.

Curation and Import

Several times a year, we travel through Japan — dining, tasting, and seeking out bottles that stand out again and again. When they do, we visit the brewery and begin the slow process of building trusting relationships. Many of these brewers don’t export at all, so it can take years before we’re able to bring their sake to Berlin. Unlike traditional import models with many intermediaries, we keep a direct pipeline and a strict cold chain in 5° C — from the brewery to our cooling cellar in Kreuzberg — ensuring every bottle here tastes exactly as it does in Japan. Our Sake Club plays the role of custodian for each brewery, ensuring their unique taste, history, and spirit travel from Japan to our community with care and respect.

FAQ

It depends on the sake variety. Most sake is best consumed within one to two weeks if kept in the fridge. After that, delicate varieties such as junmai ginjō and junmai daiginjō quickly lose their fruity, floral aromas. Sparkling sake is best enjoyed within one to three days after opening, as it loses carbonation quickly.

Yes. Sake should always be stored in the fridge at a temperature below 8°C. Refrigeration is especially important for nama-zake and to preserve the delicate freshness of ginjō sake. Warm temperatures accelerate oxidation and spoilage.

Enjoy it while it’s fresh! Most sake is best consumed within about a year of leaving the brewery. Nama-zake, in particular, tends to lose its vibrant character after just a few months. Ginjō styles generally have a shorter shelf life than honjōzō and junmai varieties, and are best enjoyed within around ten months.

Sake generally has a higher alcohol content than beer or wine, ranging from 12% up to 18% ABV. The average is around 14.5%.

Yes. Our strict cold-chain import process is essential. All sake is shipped directly from breweries in Japan under strict quality control. It travels in refrigerated containers from Yokohama to Hamburg and is carefully handled until it reaches Berlin, where it is stored in our temperature-controlled cellar.

Yes. At Our Sake Club, we offer guided sake tastings to explore the wide variety of aromas, flavors, and styles. During opening hours, you can enjoy our classic sake flight — a tasting of three different sakes. We also offer seasonal and mainstay selections by the glass. If you fall in love with a particular sake (as often happens!), you can open a bottle to enjoy on-site or take it home.

Yes. We collaborate with local Kreuzberg restaurants Zum Heiligen Teufel and Merold to offer a curated selection of small bites designed to pair with our sake and showcase its versatility.
