Tasting Notes & Craftsmanship

This light-bodied sake features a silky texture and a definitive, clean finish designed to complement a wide variety of dishes. It offers soft, inviting aromas of steamed rice and chestnuts, complemented by flavors of candied nuts and dried tropical fruit.

Isojiman takes a meticulous approach to production, spending a full 72 hours growing their koji to achieve remarkable depth of flavor and structural integrity. Because this is a Honjozo style, the careful addition of distilled brewer's alcohol helps maintain its crisp framework, allowing the complex flavors to continue deepening and developing even weeks after opening.
