Honjozo

A term that implies that distilled alcohol has been added to the fermenting mash just before pressing. 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.
