Zaku “Ho no Tomo”
True craft always shines
“Zaku” translates to “craft,” and expresses their value of continuing to craft honest, true sake together with customers in this ever-changing world. Brewed using a combination of locally grown Yamadanishiki and Ukonnishiki rice milled to 60%, the brewers ferment this brew in small batches for careful control. Bright lychee acidity on the nose and so fresh and clean in texture, it’s a food-friendly, simply divine sake.
