Imagine the precision of a fine Chablis intertwined with the gentle umami of aged Parmesan. Sake’s rice-driven profile delivers that crisp acidity and mineral backbone, while its subtle rice-koji aromatics unfold like a delicate bouquet of white flowers, honeydew melon and toasted almond. 

Drop in to A Taste of Tanners, Shrewsbury, any time between 1pm and 5pm on Saturday May 24, to discover all you need to know about sake and in particular those from Akashi-Tai – an artisanal producer, based in the fishing town of Akashi in Hyogo Prefecture, Western Japan. Tanners will also include some food pairings to show you how versatile this drink is.

A spokesperson said: "Whether you savour a polished Ginjo with its silky mouthfeel and lingering finish or a robust Junmai that mirrors the weight and warmth of a full-bodied red, sake’s versatility will undoubtedly expand your drinks repertoire. Kanpai!"
