Usually, a small volume of distilled rice alcohol is added to Daiginjô Nihonshu at the end of the process to develop aromas and flavors. This is not the case for the Nihonshu Ken, which counts on the expert know-how, the selection of rice, its origin and the quality of the water used to produce an outstanding result.
Initial taste : the sweetness of the glucose coming from the rice gives a very soft first impression, while the fullness covers the palate and gives a sensation of juiciness. Very sophisticated and balanced, you will feel delicate notes of melon, pear, peach and apple.
Final taste : Katsuyama Nihonshu’s true value is its subtle and never dominating sweet taste. This final note fades slowly, as for the best natural wines.

Our perfect combination : it will accompany a large variety of first course with its subtle and sweet taste. It is also recommended for white fish sashimi, fish and meat stew, foie gras, cheeses (especially blue cheese) and desserts.

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

The nihonshu of the Lords

Katsuyama sake brewery established in the second half of the 17th century, more precisely between 1650 and 1688, in the current Prefecture of Miyagi controlled then by a very powerful Samurai Chief (Sengoku Daimyõ) answering the name Date Masamune. The region of Sendaï was his Kingdom and owed his financial power to the cultivation of rice, a real currency at the time but also a symbol of financial power.
