Akashi-Tai Honjozo Tokubetsu is a 15% ABV sake brewed at the family-run Akashi Sake Brewery in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. It is made from 100% Gohyakumangoku rice milled to 60%, a ginjo-grade polish, while keeping the honjozo style of a small addition of distilled alcohol before pressing.
Tokubetsu means special, and here it refers to that extra milling. The result is a semi-dry sake (SMV +2) that is vegan and gluten-free. It can be served chilled as an aperitif or with sushi, or gently warmed.
The aromas are light grain and steamed rice. The palate is crisp and savoury with an umami-tinged core, a clean mineral line and a gentle roundness. It finishes long and tidy with a hint of nuttiness.
