Description
Warakugoson Honjozo from the Warakugoson brand in Wakayama is brewed with a small, legally regulated addition of distilled alcohol, which serves to brighten the aroma and lighten the body compared to pure-rice styles. Honjozo is one of Japan's oldest designated sake categories, valued for its clean, versatile character that works well both chilled and warmed. Wakayama's brewing tradition and soft Kii Peninsula water contribute to a smooth, easy-drinking profile in this everyday premium style.

Ikeura Shuzo Co.,Ltd
Nigata
We continue to make such sake brewing that uses well water that springs in the company, using local rice to make local people happy.
We are brewing a "slightly dry" type of sake, and aims for sake that does not get tired of drinking.
