Eikun Tokubetsu Honjozo Nama Sake (300 ml)

EIKUN Tokubetsu Honjozo Nama Sake is produced by Saito Shuzo (齊藤酒造) in Fushimi, Kyoto, one of Japan’s most historic sake-brewing regions. Fushimi is celebrated for its soft, mineral-balanced underground water, which contributes to sake with a smooth, approachable character.

This sake belongs to the Tokubetsu Honjozo category. In this style, carefully polished rice is fermented using traditional brewing techniques, with a small amount of distilled alcohol added during fermentation. This practice is a classic method in sake brewing that helps enhance aroma, lighten the texture, and create a crisp, clean finish.

The designation “Tokubetsu” (Special) indicates that the sake uses higher-quality rice or special brewing methods compared with standard Honjozo.

What makes this expression particularly distinctive is the “Nama” style, meaning it is unpasteurized. Without pasteurization, the sake retains its natural freshness and vibrant aromatics, resulting in a brighter and more energetic flavor profile.

Because of this freshness, Nama sake should be kept refrigerated and enjoyed chilled to experience its lively character at its best.
