A look at the Akashi-Tai range
Akashi-Tai Honjozo Tokubetsu
If you're looking to enter the world of high-quality sake then Akashi-Tai has a tailor-made product for you. Honjozo Tokubetsu was made with Gohyakumangoku rice milled down to just 60% of its original size, with a small amount of alcohol added after fermentation to preserve its complex, tropical, and delicate profile.
Pairing:
The rich, umami backbone of this sake means it is a natural pairing for a huge variety of foods. Try it with barbecued meat and vegetables, grilled fish and seafood, or hard cheeses such as cheddar or comte. Serve it chilled, preferably in a wine glass to best appreciate all the aromas.
