COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The Genmai Akashi-tai 2002 was 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 2002 will continue to grow in delicious complexity if allowed to age further. Newly fermented sake cannot provide this kind of mature complexity of flavors. The 2002 vintage brings out all the nuances of fragrance and flavor inherent in rice.　 SMV: -5.5　 Acidity: 6.9　 Amino Acids: 2.3
