Hokushika Josenhonjozo

🍶
Description

Hokushika Josen Honjozo is a traditional-grade honjozo from Hokushika Shuzo in Odate, Akita, made with domestically sourced rice polished to 70% and a small addition of distilled brewing alcohol that brightens the aroma and refines the finish. The brewery employs its traditional Akita-style approach, utilizing the region's cold winters and local groundwater to craft a clean, balanced sake with a slightly dry profile. This everyday drinking honjozo reflects Akita's reputation for well-made sake produced from high-quality local ingredients.
