Authentic Japanese Brewing Tradition
Kikusui Karakuchi Honjozo is a clear, dry style of sake, meticulously crafted in the Niigata prefecture of Japan, a region renowned for its high-quality rice and pure snowmelt water. This Honjozo-grade sake is made with rice milled to at least 70%, emphasizing purity and a clean finish. With an alcohol content of 15.6, this 720ml bottle presents a balanced profile that has made it a celebrated choice in Japan for everyday enjoyment. It represents the authentic taste of traditional Japanese sake brewing.Crisp Flavour Profile and Versatility
The term "Karakuchi" translates to "extra dry," defining its signature clean and sharp finish. This sake offers a light, crisp texture and a refined, subtle aroma that avoids heavy sweetness. Its clear, dry character makes it an exceptionally food-friendly beverage that complements, rather than overpowers, a wide range of dishes. It is an excellent pairing for delicate seafood, grilled meats, and various traditional Japanese cuisines.How to Enjoy
This versatile sake can be enjoyed across a spectrum of temperatures to match your preference or the season. For a light and refreshing experience, serve it chilled (5 ∘C−10 ∘C). For colder months or a more aromatic profile, it is also highly recommended warmed (Atsukan or Nurukan). Serve it in a traditional ochoko cup alongside your meal to appreciate its clean, dry finish and its ability to seamlessly enhance the flavours of your food.Best Before, Important Information

Frequently asked questions
How is Kikusui Karakuchi Honjozo traditionally served for optimal enjoyment?
This sake is versatile and can be enjoyed at various temperatures. It is often served slightly chilled to highlight its crispness or at room temperature. For a warmer experience, it can be gently heated to around 40-45°C (104-113°F) to soften its edges and enhance its umami.
Can this Honjozo sake be used in cooking, and if so, what are some suitable applications?
Yes, Kikusui Karakuchi Honjozo is excellent for cooking. Its dry profile and clean finish make it suitable for deglazing pans, marinades for fish or poultry, or as a base for dashi or soup stocks. It adds depth and umami without overpowering other flavors.
How does warming or chilling Kikusui Karakuchi Honjozo affect its flavor profile?
Chilling this sake brings forward its crisp, dry character and subtle fruity notes. Warming it, on the other hand, tends to mellow its dryness, emphasize its savory umami components, and create a smoother, softer texture on the palate.
How does Kikusui Karakuchi Honjozo compare to a Junmai sake in terms of taste and recommended pairing?
Kikusui Karakuchi Honjozo typically has a drier, crisper profile due to the addition of a small amount of brewer's alcohol, making it often lighter in body. A Junmai sake, made purely from rice, water, yeast, and koji, often presents a fuller body and a more pronounced rice flavor, making it suitable for richer dishes. This Honjozo pairs well with lighter, saltier dishes, while Junmai can handle more robust flavors.
When pairing Kikusui Karakuchi Honjozo with yakitori, how would its profile interact differently with tare-glazed versus shio-seasoned yakitori?
With shio-seasoned yakitori, the sake's dry, clean finish cuts through the saltiness, refreshing the palate and enhancing the chicken's natural flavor. When paired with tare-glazed yakitori, the sake's crispness provides a counterpoint to the rich, sweet-savory glaze, preventing the palate from becoming overwhelmed and balancing the flavors.
