Taru Honjozo - 720ml
Tsukasabotan’s Taru Honjozo is crafted with traditional techniques handed down through generations, allowing the cedar barrels to impart their character to a crisp, dry Honjozo sake. The sake reveals a refined balance of cedar aroma with a light, dry and clean profile.
When tasted, a gentle spread of woody fragrance appears—subtle yet present—followed by a solid, rich flavour with natural depth. It can be enjoyed chilled, at room temperature, or warmed, and pairs particularly well with dishes such as wild vegetables and mushrooms.
Founded in 1603 in the Tosa region, Tsukasabotan Brewing Company uses underground water from the Niyodo River, one of Japan’s clearest rivers. Legend tells that sake brewed with this water was once offered to the gods. Across the centuries, Tsukasabotan has placed quality first; even during wartime rice shortages, the brewery reduced production volumes rather than compromise, securing its reputation as a respected national brand.

Tsukasabotan Brewing Company, opgericht in 1603 in de Tosa-regio, brouwt met ondergronds water uit de Niyodo-rivier, een prachtig kristalheldere rivier die goed bekend is in Japan. Volgens de oude legende werd sake die met dit water werd gebrouwen, als offer aan de goden. Gedurende haar lange geschiedenis is kwaliteitssake iets waar het bij deze brouwerij altijd om draait. Toen tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog een landelijk tekort aan rijst toesloeg, koos Tsukasabotan ervoor om de kwaliteit te behouden door het productievolume te verlagen, een stap die goed werd ontvangen en het bedrijf hielp uitgroeien tot een nationaal bekend merk.
