Kusudama Honjozo Jousen

Rating from Customers

3.9

1 reviews

This sake has been cherished by the people of Hida Takayama, with a family motto of 'dedicating life to sake brewing.' This Honjozo, crafted with the same care as a Ginjo sake, is made for everyday enjoyment. It uses underground water from the foothills of the Northern Alps, known as the 'roof of Japan,' and 100% carefully selected Gifu-grown rice, polished to 65%. Brewed during the harsh Hida winter, this sake boasts a straightforward, solid flavor with a well-balanced umami and acidity, and a pleasantly dry finish. Whether chilled or warm, it is a classic sake beloved as an everyday favorite in Hida Takayama.
