About
Made with sake rice representative of Niigata, polished to 55%, and brewed through long, low-temperature fermentation, this Tokubetsu Honjozo has a soft mouthfeel and a light, clean character (tanrei). It is enjoyed both chilled and warmed, and pairs well with a wide range of dishes. A faint koji aroma that emerges when it is warmed is also one of the pleasures of this sake.
