Description
Honjozo brewed from Shiga-grown Mizukagami rice, a variety recognized for three consecutive years with a Special A food-taste rating, polished to 70% at this kura in Taga Town. Water sourced from the Suzuka mountain range gives the sake a crisp character, and the label bears a watercolor of Lake Biwa and its guardian giant catfish.
