Kenbishi Kuromatsu Premium Honjozo Sake 900ml Bottle

Hananomai Katana Junmai Ginjo is crafted to satisfy those seeking a bold and crisp drinking experience with its super-dry profile, marked by an SMV of +7. This premium Japanese sake delivers a robust flavor without residual sweetness or pronounced aromas, making it an ideal choice for connoisseurs who prefer clean, assertive sakes over fruit-forward alternatives. Brewed in the Chubu region’s Shizuoka Prefecture using locally sourced rice polished down to 60%, Katana Junmai Ginjo balances intensity with elegance—its full-bodied texture stands out while maintaining a refined taste that pairs exceptionally well with diverse dishes.

At 15-16% ABV, this junmai ginjo offers a smooth yet powerful sip that adapts seamlessly to your preferred serving style: enjoy it chilled for a refreshing crispness, at room temperature for deeper complexity, or even over ice for a versatile twist. Its minimalist aroma profile ensures it doesn’t overpower delicate flavors during meals, while its dryness complements richer fare like grilled meats or savory seafood without clashing.

Hananomai’s expertise shines through meticulous craftsmanship, leveraging Shizuoka’s terroir to create a sake that distinguishes itself in crowded markets. Unlike many junmai ginjos known for floral notes or tropical sweetness, Katana prioritizes purity and structure—perfect for those who value sharp clarity over overtly aromatic expressions. Whether you’re exploring premium sakes or seeking a reliable option for special occasions, this Chubu-brewed gem delivers unmatched balance between strength and sophistication. Its adaptability across temperatures makes it equally suited for casual evenings or refined dining experiences, ensuring there’s no wrong way to enjoy its crisp character.

For fans of dry sake who crave depth without heaviness—or anyone looking beyond traditional sweetened varieties—Hananomai Katana Junmai Ginjo stands as a testament to Japan’s artisanal brewing heritage. Its precise milling process and regional ingredients set it apart as a premium choice that honors both tradition and modern palates seeking boldness without compromise.
