Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven

About
Brewed with well water drawn from a source in the satoyama (foothill woodland) and Gohyakumangoku rice grown locally in the Joetsu area, this honjozo is made using the traditional futa koji method (koji made in covered trays). Soft on the palate with depth, its gentle bitterness and astringency crisp up the finish.
