From the Saitama prefecture of Honshu, this Honjozo blends Miyama Nishiki rice, widely acknowledged as one of the best types of rice for brewing saké, with high-quality water from the Arakawa River. The result is a semi-dry saké that is characterised by a rich, sharp taste and a crisp flavor that does not overwhelm the palate. Best enjoyed at a slightly chilled temperature, this saké makes for an ideal pairing with more mellow flavors such as Soba and Hiyayakko.
