The Tokubetsu Honjozo of Akashi-Tai ('Tai' refers to Japanese Sea Bream) is made using the Gohyakumangoku rice, sourced from Niigata and milled down to 60%. Light and dry in style, it has a nose of fresh pears and banana, with honeydew melon, grapefruit peel bitterness on the creamy palate, with citrus acidity to balance. The finish is dry and clean.

Country: Japan

The rice wines and plum wines of Japan are amongst the most fascinating, aromatic and seductive national drinks in the world, and it is a testament to the traditional practices and expertise of the producers of these beverages that their popularity is continuing to rise across the globe. Both plum wines and sake are produced in many parts of Japan, and there are even several AOC style appellations dedicated to producing plum wines and sake of the highest quality, overseen by regulations similar to those found in esteemed wine regions of France and elsewhere. Both drinks are inextricably linked with the cuisine of Japan, but both are also highly enjoyable when drank without food, giving the drinker a real taste of the beauty of the far east.
