Terada Honke is one of the first breweries that comes to mind when talking about “sake for natural wine lovers”. Each sake they produce is extremely unique, mostlybecause of their natural/low-intervention brewing methods. To start, they’re making a lot of sake that is unpasteurized, undiluted and unfiltered, which is still niche in the modern sake world. They’re also using a lot of brown rice in production (low polish rice) and tapping into traditional brewing methods.

The experience:Like most sake from Terada Honke, this sake tastes unlike any sake I’ve tried before. It’s juicy and full of flavorful grain notes, and savory like soy sauce or miso. Taste this sake at all temperatures (but especially amazing warmed up). Let it age. Watch it evolve!
