Dry | Bold | Classic
Misonotake Super Dry Kimoto Genshu is a powerful, deeply flavorful sake from Takeshige Honke in Nagano Prefecture — a brewery dedicated to the traditional kimoto method and crafting sake with strength, character, and heritage.
Using the kimoto brewing technique and then bottling undiluted (genshu), it delivers a strong, full-bodied personality that stands out even among robust sake. With an alcohol content of 20% and a polishing ratio of 70%, it’s built to deliver bold flavor, depth, and a crisp finish that will appeal to fans of classic, dry, intense sake styles.
This sake opens with toasty, toasted grain-like notes and subtle almond undertones, offering an inviting aroma that signals its weight and character. On the palate, expect a dry, assertive profile with gentle umami depth, clean sharpness, and a lingering finish that highlights its powerful sake character.
Whether enjoyed slightly chilled or warmed, this super dry kimoto genshu pairs beautifully with bold, flavorful dishes such as grilled meats, hearty stews, miso-based dishes, or aged cheeses.
