About
The rice polishing ratio is 65%, but the sake is in effect brewed in the ginjo style. It is fruity with a clean finish, a light and dry tanrei (light-bodied) sake that refreshes the palate. Its lightness suits everything from dishes with delicate flavors to those with rich, full-bodied flavors. Soden Honjozo won the Fukuoka Trophy in the Honjozo category of the SAKE division at the IWC 2014.
