Product details
Akashi Sake Brewery, nestled in the fishing town of Akashi in Hyogo Prefecture, is a small-scale artisanal producer renowned for its commitment to traditional sake brewing. Hyogo, Japan's historic hub for sake production, is famed for its premium sake rice and pristine water. The brewery's signature Akashi-Tai range exemplifies true craftsmanship, with each batch handcrafted by Master Brewer Kimio Yonezawa and his dedicated team, using only the finest locally sourced ingredients.
This Hyogo Honjozo offers an inviting nose with aromas of cocoa, oatmeal, butter, steamed rice, cream, and hot chocolate. It delivers a smooth, flavorful experience that pairs beautifully with food. The sake is rich yet light, offering full-bodied flavors that are surprisingly easy to drink, with a silky, umami-rich texture. The palate reveals a delightful semi-sweetness with notes of rice, cocoa, crème brûlée, pancakes drizzled with maple syrup, nougat, grains, rice candy, buttered toast, hot chocolate, and a nutty undertone, all wrapped in a super smooth and slick finish.
