Futsushu & Honjozo

Down and dirty

For some sake wankers, Futsushu & Honjozo are the two dirty words of the sake world. Futsushu translates as 'ordinary sake' but there are many that are far from ordinary. In Japan these are the sake that hardworking salarymen turn to for emotional support after a hard day working for the man. Honjozo are part of the elitist Tokutei Meshoshu (that's premium grades of sake) but are sometimes shunned due to a little distilled alcohol being added to the final brew. Honjozo tend to be clean refreshing styles of sake that are far too easy to drink.
