About

This is an exemplary honjozo (sake brewed with a small amount of added distilled alcohol), the basic style of Japanese sake. On its own, it is a dry sake with a clean finish, and its simple flavor never becomes tiresome to drink. When paired with food, the sweetness, bitterness, and subtle complexities inherent in this sake come together with the flavors of the dish, enhancing and elevating the meal. It is also rewarding to notice how its character differs when enjoyed alone and when enjoyed with food. A recommended bottle for those who want a sake that brings out the pleasures of a meal.
