[Sake] TATENOKAWA Honryu Karaguchi Junmai Daiginjo 720ml

Tatenokawa Honryu Karakuchi Junmai Daiginjo is a dry-style sake made with 100% Dewasansan rice from Yamagata, polished to 50%. With a sake meter value of +8, it offers a distinctly dry taste.

While many associate dry sake with a light and dry flavour, this sake breaks that stereotype. Unlike the typical dry sake that lacks complexity, Honryu Karakuchi delivers dryness with depth — a crisp, clean finish supported by bold umami and a refined ginjo aroma.

It’s best enjoyed chilled (5°C) to highlight its refreshing sharpness or at room temperature (15–25°C) to experience a balanced aroma and flavour. Gently warming it to around 40°C is also possible, which can further bring out its umami richness.

Pair with delicate dishes like sashimi or sushi to elevate both the sake and the food, letting the natural flavours shine.
