Katsuyama "Diamond Akatsuki"

Handcrafted at the esteemed Katsuyama Brewery in Miyagi—established in 1688—KATSUYAMA DIAMOND AKATSUKI represents the pinnacle of Junmai Daiginjo sake. Brewed with top-grade Yamada-Nishiki rice polished to 35%, and refined using centrifugal filtration, it reveals a crystal-clear expression known as “liquid diamond.” Expect a velvety texture layered with flinty minerality, hints of peach, citrus, and earthy depth. Its elegant umami and soft, off-dry acidity create a beautifully balanced profile, perfect for pairing with both refined Japanese and contemporary Western cuisine.

HOW TO ENJOY
