Junmai/Honjozo/Sparkling
Junmai is premium sake that is made only from rice, water, and koji enzymes. Junmai sakes are often rustic and full bodied, with pronounced umami.
Honjozo has a small amount of distilled alcohol added to help extract flavor and aroma. It is characteristically light, mildly fragrant, and easy to drink.
Sparkling Sake usually has a lower alcohol content than typical sake with ranges from 5%-12%. And best of all Sparkling Sake works well in Champagne flutes to capture the bubble play, and pairs well with Champagne fare.
