Honjozo polished to 65% with SMV +5 and low acidity of 1.1 suggests restrained aroma, a dry but soft, mild body, and moderate richness. The description of mild karakuchi character that sharpens when warmed supports this profile.

Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.

About

A honjozo sake in Koshinohomare's traditional komodaru (cask wrapped in woven straw matting). It adds a festive touch to celebratory occasions. Inside is an authentic Niigata sake: a carefully crafted, easy-drinking, mildly dry honjozo in a 1.8 L container. It is enjoyable on its own, and the flavor also becomes crisper when warmed (kan). Please make use of it on all kinds of occasions.
