Umami Mart Gift Guide

The Akashi standard malt and grain blend proofed up and aged in sherry casks!  We get notes of dates, orange peel, tart cherries, and rye bread.

Eigashima Shuzo, famed for its sake since the Edo period (1603-1868), is one of Japan's oldest whisky distilleries. The first to obtain their distillery license in 1919, they began making shochu and other spirits. Since 1984, they have been producing Akashi whiskies at their White Oak facility in the seaside town of Akashi, near Kobe. Today, they continue to produce sake, umeshu, whisky.
