Description
Herun Honjozo Tokubetsuhonjozo is a special honjozo from Kimpo Shuzo in Shimane, named Herun in honor of Lafcadio Hearn, the writer and cultural interpreter who lived in nearby Matsue and became one of Japan's most celebrated foreign residents. The tokubetsu designation indicates either a superior polishing ratio or a distinctive production method beyond the standard honjozo requirement. This sake reflects the cultural depth and regional pride of Shimane's brewing community.
