“Chotokusen Tokutoshu” Tokubetsu Honjozo
Specification
Description
Since its founding in 1873, Kamotsuru has preserved over 150 years of traditional brewing techniques to create this flagship sake.
Carefully selecting premium sake rice grown in the rich nature of Hiroshima, the grains are meticulously polished and slowly brewed with pristine spring water.
Removing 40% of Rice by polishing and using the core to brew the sake makes pure and refined flavor.
It features a rich aroma, a deep body, and an incredibly soft mouthfeel that spreads delightfully on the palate.
While excellent when chilled, warming this sake truly elevates its savory 'Umami' to another level, making it the absolute pinnacle of warm sake.
Highly acclaimed in both domestic and international warm sake competitions, this authentic flavor continues to be selected by historic, world-renowned restaurants, including the legendary "Sukiyabashi Jiro."
Serving Suggestion: Best enjoyed gently warmed to release its full depth, but also excellent when at room temperature and hot.
Chilled: A rich aroma and deep complexity unfold beautifully, offering a remarkably smooth and gentle mouthfeel.
Warm or Hot: Warming this sake truly elevates its savory 'Umami' to another level, expanding its deep body and showcasing why it is the absolute pinnacle of warm sake.
Best Pairs With: Grilled or roasted meats, semi-aged cheeses, rich Japanese dishes like teriyaki salmon or chicken. Think of it like a full-bodied white wine — pair it with dishes that have some richness, and the sake's umami and gentle warmth will shine. All Japanese cuisine ( Kaiseki, Omakase )
