Tatsuriki “Nihon no Sakura Gold”
Hyogo prefecture
Brewed from the best
Good sake is always made from good rice. Honda Shoten followed this advice and uses Yamadanishiki rice sourced directly from local farmers to craft this luxurious sake. Before brewing, the rice is milled for two days and nights, till its just a tiny pearl. Well worth the wait, this sake’s gold-flaked charm is backed up by a rich, creamy flavor and calm aroma. A few sips will carry you back, like a breeze rustling through the rice fields.
