The Juyondai Honmaru Hiden Tamakaeshi Tokubetsu Honjozo is a unique sake within the Juyondai range. Unlike many other Juyondai sakes, including Junmai Ginjo or Daiginjo, Honmaru is a Honjozo. It is derived from sake lees from the brewery, contributing to its rich aroma and taste. The sake is polished to 55%, leaving a significant amount of the proteins and fats from the rice’s middle layers, further contributing to its depth and complexity. The Tokubetsu Honjozo label suggests some yeast and microorganisms may remain alive after bottling, enhancing its unique flavour profile.

*SMV stands for Sake Meter Value, which measures the density of sake compared to water to determine sweetness/dryness.
