Description
Brewed at Nakamura Shuzoujou in Akiruno, Tokyo, this honjozo is polished to 65% and crafted using spring water drawn from 170 meters underground through the Chichibu paleozoic rock layer. The brewery employs a four-stage fermentation approach rather than the standard three, producing a sake with delicate fragrance and rice umami that persists through its lean frame.
