Namachozoshu Honjozo Kikusui

🍶

Description

This namachozoshu honjozo undergoes only a single pasteurization before being stored cold, preserving the lively freshness of nama sake while developing a gentle depth through careful aging. Kikusui Shuzo's Nagano honjozo delivers a bright, clean flavor with the added complexity that comes from this controlled one-time heat treatment process.
