Sake Junmai Daiginjo Genshu 16%vol Japanese Sake - Milling rate 38%

A Junmai Daiginjo Genshu from Japan: Sake in its puristic form, without the addition of brewer's alcohol and bottled undiluted at 16% vol.

The Akashi Sake Brewery polishes the rice to 38% of its original grain. More than half (62%) is ground away, leaving the pure starch core, which stands for clear, fine aromas. As a Genshu, the sake is not diluted with water to drinking strength. Therefore, it appears denser than many Daiginjo without becoming heavy.

In the glass, floral hints and bright fruit appear. On the palate, it is silky, clear, and precise, the finish fine and long. Recommendation: serve well-chilled at 8 to 10 °C from a white wine glass. It pairs well with sashimi, steamed fish, or scallops with a splash of lemon, but also works neat as a calm prelude. A gift for all who take sake seriously.

The Distillery

Akashi Sake Brewery

Japan's best sake brewery is located in a small port town on the Seto Inland Sea. Founded in 1917, the Akashi Sake Brewery has evolved from a soy sauce manufacturer into a cult destination.

The secret lies in perfect ingredients: Yamadanishiki, the king of rice varieties, and soft spring water from the mountains. Head brewer Kimio Yonezawa, eighth generation in his family, still stirs each batch by hand – a nearly extinct art.

The most famous sake is called Akashi-Tai . It tastes of pear and melon and has that smooth, umami-rich finish that connoisseurs around the world love. A piece of Japanese craftsmanship in a glass.

Find the right wine faster – with our picks

Row above the wines with the “Our picks” button open and three Super Tuscans

You can now find the right wine faster. Above the wines in every category there is one row that brings it all together: Our picks, Occasion, Goes with, Wine style, Filters and Sort by.

Row above the wines with Filters, Our picks, Goes with, Wine style, Bought before and Sort by; the "Our picks" button is open with "Super Tuscan" selected, next to it Tignanello, Le Volte and Le Serre Nuove

  • Our picks. The "Our picks" button comes first. Choose "Great value" to see wines that deliver more than their price suggests. Some of them have been recognised by Falstaff and other critics for exactly that, the others we have picked for you.
  • Super Tuscans. On the Tuscany page, "Our picks" also takes you to the red cult wines that deliberately broke with the old appellation rules: Tignanello, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Le Volte, Guado al Tasso and many more, from the first step up to large formats.
  • One tap, one choice. Tap "Occasion", "Goes with" or "Wine style" and pick what you are looking for, such as "Aperitif & spritz" or "Fish". The button then shows what is currently selected.
  • Everything at a glance. Whatever you have selected appears right below. Tap the cross to remove it, or "Clear all" to remove everything at once.
  • Always at hand on your phone. The row stays at the top while you scroll, so you can change filters and sorting without scrolling back up.
  • Bought before. When you are logged in, the "Bought before" switch shows which wines in the category you have already bought from us, online or in the shop. Handy when you want to find a favourite again.
