Product information "Taru Honjozo - 720ml"
Tsukasabotan’s Taru Honjozo is crafted with traditional techniques handed down through generations, allowing the cedar barrels to impart their character to a crisp, dry Honjozo sake. The sake reveals a refined balance of cedar aroma with a light, dry and clean profile.
When tasted, a gentle spread of woody fragrance appears—subtle yet present—followed by a solid, rich flavour with natural depth. It can be enjoyed chilled, at room temperature, or warmed, and pairs particularly well with dishes such as wild vegetables and mushrooms.
Founded in 1603 in the Tosa region, Tsukasabotan Brewing Company uses underground water from the Niyodo River, one of Japan’s clearest rivers. Legend tells that sake brewed with this water was once offered to the gods. Across the centuries, Tsukasabotan has placed quality first; even during wartime rice shortages, the brewery reduced production volumes rather than compromise, securing its reputation as a respected national brand.
