More tasting info

Presenting a gentle aroma and rich umami, this honjozo is best enjoyed at a warm temperature. Heating it up enhances the presence of succinic acid, which is what makes sake such an amazing beverage to enjoy with food. It is loved by the brewer as an everyday sake to savor with meals; they recommend oden and other stewed or simmered dishes. Relax into this sake’s soft, calming sweetness.

The story
