      Rice (hitomebore variety) comes from the rice fields irrigated by the pure water of the Izumigatake Mountain (north-west of Sendaï). Kobo yeast is also coming from Miyagi Prefecture, making of the EN a true «terroir» sake. First taste is full bodied, but remaining in the dry category. It is characterized by its powerful notes of early cooked rice. It can be enjoyed chilled or warm during all the meal.
      It is characterized by a rich flavor of concentrated sweetness and umami, powerful and rich notes of cooked raw rice. It is drunk fresh or hot, from the beginning to the end of the meal. This sake won the Best Junmaï Award in 2012 at the prestigious Sendai Sake Competition. Japanese sake makers say that En Tokubetsu Junmaï is the expression of the purity and sweetness of Sendai rice.

      Our perfect combination : fish, oysters, wagyu grilled meat

      Our tip
      Rotate the bottle (head to tail) 2 or 3 times. Rice starch saccharification generates glucose, which is more dense than the rest of the liquid. The glucose is at the bottom of the bottle and this rotation helps spreading uniformly throughout the bottle.

      KATSUYAMA SUPRÊME SAKÉ 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.
