What is Honjozo Sake? Honjozo is a style of sake that features a small amount of added brewer's alcohol during fermentation, which enhances its aroma and flavor profile without increasing its alcohol content significantly. A small quantity of distilled alcohol is added to the fermenting mash to extract more flavor from the rice, resulting in a lighter, cleaner, and more aromatic sake.It's made from rice polished to a maximum of 70% of its original size and is known for being light, smooth, and versatile in its flavor and food pairings.
A remarkably elegant honjozo popular with local Miyagi drinkers, this is made from premium Yamada Nishiki rice milled to 60%. A vibrant aroma of tropical fruit and wild strawberries gives way to a floral and herbal profile that finishes dry.

Taste: Aromatic and full-bodied mouthfeel intertwined with sweet and sour mellow taste. The rich and fragrant osmanthus essence is blended with classic green plum liqueur and sugar-curing green plums. The liquor is intertwined with floral and fruity aromas
Taste: A slightly dry junmai with subtle aromas of honey and pear with flavors of cashews and toasted cereal. Complimented by hints of minerality from Mt. Rokko’s natural spring water.
