Product details
Honda Shoten only uses the best of the best - super high-quality Yamada Nishiki rice grown in Hyogo prefecture's Miki City and Kato City. This is the basis of their art, and they only will use this top-tier rice. Their sake's names bear the names of the farms that they source their rice from.
A sharp and solid tokubetsu junmai sake brewed with the time-honored Kimoto method - a way to produce sake's mother yeast starter that takes extra time, labor, and experience, but yields immensely well-structured and umami-rich sake. The nose on this traditionally pole-rammed sake is a nice collection of nuts, nougat, cream, and steamed rice. There is a peek-a-boo bitter chocolate note that appeals to deep red wine drinkers and this sake does great chilled and at room temperature, and even better warmed! Pair well with Niimono, BBQ and Grill fare, and salty and savory fare.
