About
Restrained in aroma and finished to be dry and never tiresome to drink, this Tokubetsu Honjozo is the basic form of Kubota. It has a full, rounded spiciness and acidity, and the finish leaves a sense of dryness. It pairs well with simple dishes, and its clean finish, which does not tire the palate, means it can also be enjoyed on its own.
