Description
Brewed in Iwate, this Honjozo has a clean, crisp aroma of fresh apple and rice with a subtle floral sweetness. The palate is medium bodied with mild fruitiness, a touch of melon, and a balancing note of umami that gives it structure. Mildly dry overall, it is a versatile everyday sake that can be served chilled, at cellar temperature, or gently warmed.

Tsukinowa-Shuzoten Co., Ltd
Iwate
Founded in 1886 in Shiwa -cho, Shiwa -gun, Iwate Prefecture, the birthplace of Nambu Mori. For generations, the owner has been conducting sake brewing as an owner who also serves as a borit, and the fifth generation Yuko Yokosawa, now the foundation, is the brewery. He continues to have this philosophy "as a family, not a company, but as a family business," and always sets his goal of inheritance of tradition and technological innovation. The rice is mainly used in Iwate's sake brewing, "Gintome", "Gin Ginkin", and "Kono no Ka", and prepare it with soft water (underwater water in the Kitakami River). The aim is to have a solid and gentle flavor in a clear and gentle flavor.
