Umenoyado Sanca Honjouzo (72cl)

A honjozo sake from Umenoyado in Nara, Japan, in a 720ml bottle. A small, measured amount of distilled alcohol is added during brewing to lift the aroma and lighten the body. Honjozo is usually the everyday, food-friendly grade and is one of the few styles that is genuinely good warmed. It is typically light and clean with a dry finish, and warming usually brings the aroma forward. Serve gently warm for cold evenings and grilled or braised dishes, or lightly chilled in summer with sashimi and lighter food.
