So-shu — clean and light

About
We have renewed our long-loved Honjozo Tenju, revising its specifications and sake character. The rice used is Ginsan, a variety grown under contract. To suit the character of this rice, the rice polishing ratio was set at 70%. As a result, the sake has a cleaner finish and a lighter, crisper feel than before.
