This is saké with an elegant flavour unlike any other before it. The softly rich fragrance and plump, full-bodied taste are enjoyed along with extreme clarity. Combining a high level of perfection with a delicate balance of flavours and aromas, this top-class umami saké befits the Katsuyama worldview.
Akatsuki is a word meaning a "rising sun," as this saké is intended as a new modern style for the next generation of sake.

“A Chablis-styled SAKE but with Grand Cru quality, the Katsuyama AKATSUKI has Knock -out minerality that feels just like climbing a stony mountain. It has great complexity, providing scents of flint, earth, jam, citrus and peach. this SAKE is off-dry and perfectly balanced with refreshing acidity, together with big structure and deep concentration. It has a prolonged meaty, spicy and mineral finish. A fabulous SAKE! “
