Hiokizakura Karakuchi Honjozo

Tama Sakae rice polished to 60% defines this karakuchi honjozo from the Tottori Yamane Shuzo brewery established in 1887, where the philosophy of complete fermentation consistently produces dry, non-sweet sake oriented toward food pairing. The small addition of distilled alcohol in the honjozo process contributes a clean, sharp edge to the natural grain flavor and supports the bright, dry finish. Described by the brewery not as 'dry' but as 'non-sweet,' reflecting their precise approach to fermentation philosophy.
