About

This is a sweet-style sake, the mainstream style in Saga Prefecture, yet its crisp sweetness makes it smooth and easy to drink. An exceptional value, the Nabeshima Tokubetsu Honjozo is often described as the unofficial everyday counterpart to the extremely limited-production Nabeshima. Fukuchiyo Shuzo is the brewery that was selected for the "Champion Sake," the top prize in the sake category at the IWC (International Wine Challenge) 2011, a wine competition widely regarded as one of the largest and most prestigious in the world.
