One of the three incarnations of Zaku in a junmai style, Ho no tomo offers the ideal balance of flavorand aroma. Presenting an initial scent of lychee and fruit character, proceeding into a subtle sweetness,and finishing with a light aftertaste, it expresses the character of rice grain in a gentle, harmonious manner, as its name suggests. They named their sake "Zaku" (which means "the work") to express their feeling that sake brewing does not end with bottling the beverage. The work is continued by the liquor store that sells it, the restaurant that serves it, and the connoisseur who drinks it.
