A brewing technique that creates a lighter and cleaner sake. In premium sake, the addition of alcohol is not a compromise in quality, only a matter of flavor profile. Honjozo sake is often referred to as the “salary man's friend” because it's a light and balanced sake that you can easily sip all evening at the Izakaya.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"kimoto-tokubetsu-honjozo","title":"Sohomare - Kimoto Tokubetsu Honjozo","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e生 酛 仕 込 \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;特 別 本 醸 造\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Honjozo version of our Kimoto lineup calls for kansake (warm sake).
