About
Brewed with groundwater (furyusui) that flows from Mount Iwataki, which rises behind the brewery, this top-tier sake of the Honshuichi brand is made in small batches with meticulous care. It uses Senbon Nishiki, a sake rice variety grown in Hiroshima Prefecture, milled to 40% (rice polishing ratio), and Hiroshima Ginjo yeast. The fruity aroma and rich flavor characteristic of Honshuichi are combined with the smooth, clean palate typical of Junmai Daiginjo, with few off-flavors.
