{"product_id":"takatenjin-sword-of-the-sun-tokubetsu-honjozo-sake-nv-300ml-300ml","title":"Takatenjin, Sword of the Sun Tokubetsu Honjozo Sake, NV (300ml)","description":"This is the sake the brewery's own staff choose to drink: a bright, dry Tokubetsu Honjozo with cucumber and juniper-like botanical notes, which makes it an easy crossover for gin lovers. The rice is polished down to 60%, and it is very close to Ginjo grade. The brewery deliberately holds back the aroma and flavour so it stays easygoing rather than perfumed, giving you near-Ginjo craft in a sake built for daytime drinking. It's brewed from Yamada Nishiki and Haenuki rice at Doi Shuzo in Shizuoka prefecture, a place known for very pure water. That same water is why Shizuoka is famous for its tea and wasabi fields, and the brewery itself runs partly on solar power and treats its water on site. The name honours the brewery's founder, who fought many battles near the ruins of Takatenjin Castle. That castle was once fought over by Tokugawa Ieyasu and Takeda Katsuyori, and it's still the best-known landmark in the brewery's home district. In 300ml, it's just the right amount for two people to share over lunch.","brand":"Vintus [VTS]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39370435821625,"sku":"NYC-4-VTS-JTK004-100521-300ml2","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Takatenjin-Sword-of-the-Sun-Tokubetsu-Honjozo-Sake-NV-300ml-Sake-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1773932574","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/takatenjin-sword-of-the-sun-tokubetsu-honjozo-sake-nv-300ml-300ml","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
