Winemaker Notes
Vibrant aromas of tropical fruit and wild strawberries give way to a floral and herbal profile that finishes dry.
An elegant and food friendly Honjozo sake. Pair with herb roasted chicken, grilled whitefish with lemon or fresh oysters.
Like Junmai, this category of saké has the lowest milling requirement (no less than 30% milled) so that 70% of each rice grain remains. It is also made of water, koji mold, yeast and rice. However, what makes Honjozo different from Junmai, is that a small amount of distilled alcohol can be added during fermentation. Today this added alcohol can aid in releasing trapped aromas and compounds. The result is a more fragrant saké with a lighter taste. Pair this style with all types of sushi and tempura.
