From the Naohiko Noguchi Institute, led by the legendary brewer Naohiko Noguchi, known as the best brewer in Japan, comes a basic bottle of "Honjozo Unfiltered Nama-zake," which is loved by a wide range of people. The label is a very simple design with the symbol of the Naohiko Noguchi Institute on a black base color. Gohyakumangoku rice grown in Fukui Prefecture is carefully brewed with 60% polished rice and aged for more than 18 months.
The aroma is softly fruity and refreshing, with a hint of pear. It is soft on the palate with a refined impression that is hard to believe it is a honjozo. The supple and robust umami and the depth of the matured flavor are wonderfully thick. As you swallow the mellow flavor, you will feel a fine lingering aftertaste before it disappears with a refreshing sharpness.
This is a signature sake from a legendary brewer, and its ability is unmistakable. Enjoy it at a wide range of temperatures and keep a bottle of this delicious sake on hand!
