Honjozo
Honjozo is a category of sake that contains brewer’s alcohol and has a minimum rice polishing ratio of 70%. During World War II, distilled alcohol was added to sake to increase yield and lower production cost. Today, brewer’s alcohol is added to premium sake to enhance the aroma and the finish. Adding distilled alcohol can release otherwise trapped aroma compounds, making the sake more fragrant. It can also make sake taste lighter.
