Houmei Gensyu Honjozo

Houmei Genshu Honjozo from Houmeishuzou in Hyogo is an undiluted honjozo, meaning a small addition of distilled alcohol was made before fermentation completion, and the sake is bottled at its natural, uncut strength. The genshu format amplifies the flavor and increases the alcohol level compared to diluted honjozo, resulting in a bolder, more concentrated expression of the style. From Tanba-Sasayama, this robust honjozo carries the earthy, clean character of the region with added intensity from the lack of dilution.
