It is like a versatile sake.
Quick general comment
Overall Review ~ S
A gem that allows you to enjoy the fruity taste and the umami of the rice. No wonder it has won so many awards.
However, I wonder why the name is so unheard of...(I can guess why...)

Overall review ~ S~.
If you like sweet, fresh, fruity and refreshing sake, you should try this. I don't want to say "this one", I want you to drink Akashitai.
It is a gem that should be enjoyed not only by drinking, but also by rolling it around on the tongue like a wine.
It is one of my top five favorite sake.
If you like sweet Akashi-tai, please drink it.
Akashi Taihai Unfiltered Honjozo Nama Sake
Akashi Sake Brewery Co.
alc. 19 degrees, rice polishing ratio 70%.
720ml, about 2000 yen (I think it was about...)
Pairing: Bonito Tataki
Sake limited to the Visitor Center.
Maybe there is an official mail order...?
Well... all I can say is that it tastes good anyway.
Is it true that it has a high alcohol content...? Is this...? It's so refreshing!
It has a smooth and soft sweetness. It is easy to drink, like milk. It tastes great chilled or slightly lukewarm. The alcohol taste is felt because it is a pure sake, but it tastes even better than that.
The aroma is orthodox, as is often the case.
The aroma is orthodox, as is often the case, but there is a slight berry-like sweetness....
The aftertaste is also refreshing, and the alcohol content is high, but it goes down well.
It is very easy to enjoy. I think this is one of those drinks that even people who don't like alcohol can enjoy.
I want to praise it a lot, but...
General Comment ~ S~.
Delicious, but I personally prefer the Akashi-tai Junmai Daiginjo.
Akashi-tai itself should be enjoyed by everyone. It's not a habit, it's refreshing, sweet and sour, but I would recommend it to everyone.
Akashi-tai should be advertised more to raise its name recognition.
Drink it!

Matching homemade smoked pork belly and garlic cheese
Sake bought at Akashi Sake Brewery. Maybe seasonal, limited sales route...?
It is sweet, sake-like and delicious.
It has a full-bodied, umami flavor. The aroma smells a little like alcohol.
The aftertaste is very sake-like and alcoholic.
Food is difficult to find 🤔.
Personally, I think it's for sake lovers to drink sake slowly.
Rating ~ B
Tasty. Delicious, but personally I found it difficult because I want to match it with food.... I'd give it a B, but that's a bit harsh since it's limited.
If you look at the taste alone, it's an A...
The 25th Hankyu Brewery Festival (2)-2
Akashi sea bream booth.
Junmai Ginjyo Genshu Fukunohana
A limited edition sake from the brewery. Slightly acidic on the palate.
Sourness in the aftertaste. A little classical, but delicious.
Junmai Ginjo Genshu Gohyakumangoku
Another limited edition from the brewery. Gohyaku-mangoku grapes grown in Hyogo Prefecture. It has a slightly yellow hue. It has a slightly yellowish color with a strong acidity for an Ihyakumangoku sake. It has a clear acidity followed by an astringent taste.
Junmai Daiginjo-genshu
The nose has a light, fresh, and elegant aroma. The aroma is clear, elegant and refreshing, and the water is delicious. The aroma is clear and elegant, and the water is also very tasty.
◉Daiginjo-genshu
The sweetness and umami of this sake is well balanced and well crafted.
It's not really my type of sake, but the people I went with rated it highly, so I decided to drink more and learn more about it 😁.
Hi Nemuchi 😃
Fukunohana and Gohyakumangoku also have a draft sake, and I think Fukunohana draft is the type you like a lot 😁.
Although I'm not really into it myself 😅.
Hello bouken, I didn't know that the limited edition brewery also has a draft sake 😳Fukunohana is the closest to my favorite, so I might like it even more if it's a draft sake 🤣 I guess you can't get into it either 🤣.
The 25th Hankyu Brewery Festival (2)-1
Akashi sea bream booth.
This is the first time the brewery has opened a booth, and only the first half of the festival. A brewery that bouken previously told me was rare because it mainly exports.
The kurabito who helped us was not very salesy, but was kind enough to answer any questions we asked him.
I asked him if they were selling very well, and he replied, "Yesterday's sales were very good. I asked him if it was selling very well, and he told me that it was the best seller. It seems that Oku no Matsu was number one by far.
◉Special Honjozo
The sake has a sharp, sharp taste, with a strong honjozo sweetness. It has a slightly classical flavor, but it's delicious.
◉Special Honjozo Genshu
The taste is smooth and mineral, with a clear, well-defined, thick and full mouthfeel.
◉Special Junmai
A very clean and crisp sake, with a clear acidity and a slightly spicy umami taste. It has a classical flavor.
Junmai 80
Aged for 9 years. The mouthfeel is clean and refreshing, with a soft sweetness and umami. The taste is soft and sweet with a nice sharpness.
We tasted a lot of this one, so we will continue...
It has a clean, refreshing taste that will keep you coming back for more. As the name suggests, the taste is perfect for sashimi of sea bream. It seems to be good for sashimi of white fish ^_^.
Rich aroma. The first sip is sweet, yet you can taste the weight of the flavor, which is conveyed firmly down the throat.
It is just like a fishing rod being pulled.
We went to the Visitor Center of Akashi Sake Brewery~.
We had the B set (500 yen) of paid tasting at the restaurant.
Junmai Ginjo-genshu Hukunohana and Gohyakumangoku. And the spirits Nori Spi.
The seaweed spice was terrible. It was clear and colorless, but it was a black seaweed-flavored liquid (laugh).
After the tasting, I brought back Fucunohana. It is said to taste like wasanbon.
Wasanbon is often used to describe sake. I have never consciously eaten it. I wonder how it tastes.
I will have it with cold sake. Oh, I see~!
It is an elegant sweetness. I am sure this is the taste of wasanbon~!
There is no fruity feeling. Rather, it has an exaggeratedly seaside atmosphere.
I think it goes well with seafood dishes.
I was surprised at the bill for this bottle!
What a surprise! If you buy the sake you tasted, you get your guts back for the tasting fee.
It was a great deal!
I opened a bottle of Akashi tai (sea bream) that I finally got the other day because I bought some hamo (Japanese conger eel).
I first encountered this sake at a restaurant in Sannomiya, Kobe, run by a long-established kappo ryokan in Akashi.
I had been looking for a bottle of this sake again, but was about to give up when I stumbled upon it at the Daimaru Kobe store. It seemed that the brewery had come to sell it.
The taste is refreshing, yet very drinkable, and has a nice sharpness to it without being unpleasant.
I have always thought that sake to be paired with fish should be more beautiful than the fish itself, but this sake went very well with a light food such as hamo (pike conger eel). Almost crab is also good.
I would buy it again 10/10
Hello, Shirowama 😃!
It looks like it would go well with seafood! I've never seen Akashi tai before but it looks delicious heated 🍶😋 I'd like to find it and drink it 🤗.
Hi Jay & Nobby!
I have never heard of this brand, although it seems to be a very common one. I would love for you to try it, but it seems to be a local sake that is usually only available around Akashi City. I think they may expand their sales channels in the future.
Akashi Sake Brewery's "Akashi Tai Junmai Ginjo Nama Genjyo".
The aroma is moderate.
It has a slight sweetness and moderate acidity, and is fruity like a muscat.
The mouthfeel is refreshing, but as the sake is carried to the back of the mouth, it opens up with a rich, juicy flavor.
The spiciness is well defined by the moderate acidity, and the slight bitterness and astringent accents gradually fade away in the aftertaste.
The moderate acidity makes the most of the delicate and refined umami of sea bream,
This is indeed the skill of a sake brewer who claims the name of the king of fish, sea bream, in the name of his sake.
