For generations, the brewers here have drawn on pure mountain spring water and locally grown rice to craft their sake, honouring a tradition that balances patience, precision, and passion. Each bottle reflects the vision and craftsmanship of Kimio Yonezawa, the master behind their creation and production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFar from the neutral, dry image that many associate with sake, Akashi-Tai stands out for its depth and personality. When head brewer Kimio Yonezawa began making sake, he was drawn to the Yamadanishiki rice variety, which he considered ideal. Rather than strip away its flavour through excessive polishing, he chose to preserve its rich character, using minimal milling to highlight the natural taste of the rice he loved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years, Yonezawa has refined his techniques and broadened the Akashi-Tai range, introducing sakes with higher degrees of rice polishing for more nuanced expressions. The result is a collection that appeals to both newcomers and connoisseurs alike — described as dry yet velvety, creamy, well-balanced, and fresh, with floral and savoury notes, and hints of citrus and honey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Akashi-Tai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55022447001976,"sku":null,"price":91.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0490\/2354\/9604\/files\/B1A42837-142D-4EE3-B204-7022365DAB33.jpg?v=1745325784"},{"product_id":"akashi-tai-honjozo-genshu-tokubetsu-japanese-sake-720ml","title":"Akashi-Tai Honjozo Genshu Tokubetsu Japanese Sake 720ml","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"56\" data-end=\"525\"\u003eProduced by \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eAkashi Sake Brewery\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e in \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eHyōgo Prefecture\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, this is a Tokubetsu Honjozo Genshu — meaning a premium honjozo sake made with special designation standards and bottled undiluted (genshu), resulting in higher alcohol and a more concentrated profile.
