Honjozo 'Pride of the Seashore' Isojiman

The nose on this sake from one of the great Japanese breweries is a fantastic collection of powdered sugar, pear, cherry popsicle, cream, banana bread, cereal, and melon aromas.

Smooth, rich, layered, round, and full, this brew drinks lush, juicy, and expansive with a velvety flow and a mineral peppery finish. Look for melon, cherry, pear compote, breakfast cereal, apple pie, and oatmeal flavors that open up as the fluid warms in the glass.
