"Katsuyama Akatsuki Junmai-daiginjo, undiluted (720ml)" is made using the finest Yamada Nishiki rice produced in Hyogo Prefecture, polished down until roughly 35% of the grain remains, and refined using centrifuge technology. After carefully preparing the mash, the use of a centrifuge allows us to separate the sake from the lees, and extract the rich rice flavors and essences at a low temperature. The exceptional sake we produce is well-rounded and wonderfully clear, not dissimilar to a mellow wine. Our authentic Junmai-daiginjo sake was ranked second out of 800 brands, and was awarded 95 'Parker 'Points' by the world-renowned wine critic, Robert M. Parker.

About "Katsuyama"
Japanese sake "Katsuyama" inherits a tradition that has been established for more than 320 years. It is rumored that the origin of the name lies in the superstition that samurai won victories in heaps, and is associated with the "Katsuyama Chignon", a fashionable women's hairstyle in the early Edo period (17th century). It is a full-bodied sake made through a slow and luxurious preparation that involves producing only 1 tank per week, where the moromi (a mash of barley, barley koji, yeat and water) is carefully fermented.
