Lea & Sandeman review
The Genmai Akashi-tai is created using the finest of rices for sake — Yamada Nishiki — in an almost entirely unpolished form. Because unpolished brown rice was used, this sake required extra special attention to detail, such as double-steaming of the rice. Although brewed in 2002 and bottled after being allowed to age, the Genmai Akashi-tai will continue to grow in delicious complexity if allowed to age further. Newly fermented sake cannot provide this kind of mature complexity of flavors
