Midorikawa Honjozo "Green River"

From the (East Coast) distributor Skurnik:

• Silky texture with a defined, precise finish
• Versatile food pairing option from raw oysters to rich creamy sauces
• Goyaku Mangoku, Hokuriku #12, and Koshi Ibuki rice milled to 60%

Made from well water collected from Niigata snow melt, Midorikawa’s Honjozo is a subtle variation of the Junmai from the same brewery; it has a more compact structure with a slightly silky texture and a defined and precise finish. This is a real food sake; chilled it makes a subtle companion to raw oysters, served warm with grilled chicken its sweet and creamy flavors are like a dab of butter. Blend of local rice varieties Gohyaku Mangoku, Hokuriku #12 and Koshi Ibuki milled to 60%.
