Akashi-Tai Honjozo Tokubetsu

Akashi is a family-run brewery that has survived against the fierce currents of time and change since 1856. Embodying this spirit, they persist in commitment to producing exceptional sakes, created from local ingredients. Pioneered by several generations, each Akashi-Tai sake is a reflection of the Yonezawa family’s undying love for their profession, now guided by Sake Master, Kimio Yonezawa. Located in the port city of Akashi in southwest Japan, the brewery continues to produce sakes and liqueurs, as it has for over a century.

Tokubetsu Honjozo is a lighter-bodied sake to which the sake master adds a small amount of alcohol prior to the filtering stage. This technique brings out the clean and savory flavors elicited through the brewing process. Offering a longer and more robust finish, it perfectly complements a multi-course dinner.

A delicate bouquet and light notes of lemon, lime and straw. After a lively first impression, you will notice this sake’s refreshing, soft citrus flavors with a sweet, well-balanced finish.
