Brewed from the best

Good sake is always made from good rice. Honda Shoten followed this advice and uses Yamadanishiki rice sourced directly from local farmers to craft this luxurious sake. Before brewing, the rice is milled for two days and nights, till its just a tiny pearl. Well worth the wait, this sake’s gold-flaked charm is backed up by a rich, creamy flavor and calm aroma. A few sips will carry you back, like a breeze rustling through the rice fields.

First of all, visually this sake is stunning with little gold flakes infused in it...really cool. The taste is super crisp and dry but also soft. A bit sweet with a slight brightness in the aftertaste. Apparently, it's made from underground water from Mt. Fuji and Tamada Nichiki rice.

Super premium sake with a bunch of gold flakes. it tastes clean and dry. Bought it as a spring gift. the name "nihon no sakura" means cherry blossom in Japan.
