Akashi-Tai's undiluted honjozo Akashi-tai is a satisfyingly full-bodied sake. This is the drink the brew-masters reach for at the end of a working day. Because it is undiluted, this is perhaps the most direct way to savour the full palate of their sake. The flavour continues to mellow pleasingly over time. ...

Conventional umeshu, or plum liqueur, is made by preserving Japanese ume plums in distilled spirits. However, Shiraume is a luxurious plum liqueur made by preserving plums in the finest of Japanese sakes

Brassy, rose-gold with a faint green hue & a platinum fleck. Lots happening on the nose: river rock minerality, rose petals, Turkish delight, very slight wild herbs, & a hint of sourdough & brioche. There is a bouquet of red fruits entwined with ripe golden queen peaches & musk sticks. Its evocative & multi-dimensional. The intensity on the palate impresses: dry & savoury but full of textural depth. The interplay between acid & phenolics reminds you of that attribute in fine Nebbiolo, that leads to complex florals, particularly roses but some cherry blossom adding sedimentary depth. But you cannot escape the musk, with a hint of cinnamon apricot kernel. The finish is long & dry with a distinctive crunch on the exit. Its edgy yet resolved, exciting yet calm. ...
