This Honjozo from Manotsuru speaks in an understated yet confident voice its gentle refinement reflecting the four treasures—rice, water, brewers and terroir—that define its origin. The palate is dry and soft yet subtly engaging, with airy harmony rather than overt bravado. Drinking it brings a whisper of Sado Island’s misty morning in every sip.
