• Akashi Sake Honjozo Tokubetsu Gohyakumangoku has subtle aromas of rice and light floral notes with a hint of green apple.

• The slight umami and dryness of the sake balance beautifully with the rich, smoky flavour of grilled mackerel. The sake’s crisp finish cuts through the oiliness of the fish, making each bite refreshing.
• The clean, smooth qualities of the sake enhance the delicate flavours of fresh fish. It’s dry finish compliments the umami of the seafood, and the slight rice sweetness pairs well with the subtle flavours of sushi rice.
