So-shu — clean and light

About
Okinoshima Honjozo (a sake made with a small addition of distilled alcohol) uses a small portion of its brewing water from the sacred water of Ama no Manai at Nakatsu-gu, the shrine of Munakata Taisha. It has a clean, crisp taste that does not become tiring to drink, which is its defining feature.
