This sake was created by a delicate method based on a new thought to present an extremely pure and tasty saké that never existed.

The Rice "Yamada Nishiki" with the best quality produced in Mirai, Hyogo was polished at 35%.
After fermented slowly and carefully, it was separated in saké and lies of sake by centrifugal separation (ENSHIN SHIBORI) at low temperature. It can only extract the gasoline of Umami rice. You can enjoy a soft, pure and beautiful sake texture.
Akatsuki is a word that means "new dawn" and "sunrise", because this saké is a new modern style. This is the very essence of Nihon Shu, representing only 8% of the must after filtering.
The sweet and rich scent and round and full-bodied mouth are appreciated with extreme clarity. Combining a high level of perfection with a delicate balance of flavors and aromas, this saké expresses a high-end umami.
The Gonzenshu Akatsuki is very pale yellow, and on the nose, the attention is immediately captured.
This gozenshu is rather masculine, very mineral, of great complexity. The aroma is subtle and discreet and the first nose is very fresh.
You will denote very floral notes (lily of the valley), green apple accents Granny-Smith (freshness of the green apple when we croquate), pineapple, green anise, citrus, fishing, muscat grapes, of banana, or even notes of straw. The nose is powerful, concentrated, and marked aromatic sources. Relatively mineral, salt, blindly close to Meursault.
We love the aromatic length in the mouth that lasts 2 to 3 min, the intensity, the power developed (phenomenal and without alcohol power), the notes of wild berries, the great wealth, the beautiful balance, the surprising harmony, the great purity, the Delicacy of texture, very pleasant acidity, very fine bitterness (sometimes a slightly mirabelle side) the great fluidity, the fleshy, spicy and mineral finish.

A very big cru!

Our perfect agreements: By thinning it with champagne (20% Akatsuki - 80% Champagne), the result is absolutely surprising, the champagne takes the taste and aromas of a vintage!
It is almost impossible to detect the presence of Gozenshu Akatsuki.
For japanese gastronomy connoisseurs, you can even soak your hands in the Gozenshu Akatsuki and immediately make your onigiri (rice balls), so fragrance.

You can also soak a linen of this nectar and wrap it up for 72 hours a beautiful beef coast for which you privilege a soft, just bleeding cooking.

Another amazing suggestion: Empty the first water of a good oyster and pour a cork by Akatsuki. Rinse your mouth with Gozenshu and enjoy immediately. The unit is perfect, the iodine of the oyster and the Gozenshu remain perfectly in the mouth with a disconcerting length, extremely pleasant and balanced.

KATSUYAMA SUPRÊME SAKÉ

Date Masamune was a lover of art and good meat, gourmet and particularly fond of fermented rice wines commonly called sake. Our Lord in question, in order to secure his permanent supply of sake, then appointed six financially well- established (prosperous) families to create real sake breweries and elaborate high-end sake to supply himself and his family. To do this, the families had to buy him the best rice, very expensive. The fruit of this rice trade also enabled him to maintain his armies. The Isawa family created the Katsuyama house at their request and started making homemade sakes: the Gozenchu. Since then, three and a half centuries have passed and, from these 6 elected families, only the Isawa family, owner and operator of the brand KATSUYAMA, has survived in the high end and continues brilliantly, led by the twelfth generation in the person of Jihei Isawa. It should be noted that the Date family still exists and that its current 34th generation continues to be provided by the Isawa family! The range we offer comes in 6 nihon-shu, among which 4 Gozenshu which tasting will surprise you enormously (their consumption was reserved, in the past, exclusively to the Lords). These Gozenshu are extraordinary, surprising, confusing, and rare and can’t leave you indifferent. One thing is certain, it will be very difficult for you, having tasted these nectars of the Lords, to revel in the same way with all the other sake or nihonshu present on the market.
