Honjozo

Simple and mild flavor followed by a gentle, slightly sweet, richness. Medium dry.

Named after an industrious and charismatic member of Hakushika's Tatsuuma family who was born in the 19th century, this sake is as captivating and refined as Kijuro himself. Crafted with a brewing method passed down from generations, this is an elegantly balanced sake. Made with a 25% blend of ginjo sake and a 75% blend of honjozo sake, Kijuro Tokubetsu Honjozo is refreshingly abundant both in flavor and taste.

Funaguchi has a rich, full-bodied flavor but with a refreshing clean finish. Because this Sake is un-pasteurized this fresh fruity flavor matures day-by-day in the can. In six months it transforms into a rich brandy-like flavor. After one year it comes to resemble a Chinese rice wine. Also being un-diluted instead of the usual 15% alcohol Funaguchi has 19% alcohol opening it up to the possibility of interesting cocktails. Experience the difference of un-pasteurized, un-diluted Sake.

Delicious and slightly rich Tokubetsu or “special” honjozo from Hakkaisan. On the dry side with plenty of body to stand up to hearty food. You could enjoy this honjozo both chilled and gently warmed. When warmed up, this sake takes on a richer body and more savory/umami characteristics appear.
