Katsuyama Junmai Daiginjo Akatsuki

勝山 純米大吟醸 暁

Katsuyama Junmai Daiginjo Akatsuki is a refined and expressive sake crafted using premium Yamada Nishiki rice, polished to 35%. It reflects the brewery’s precise approach, delivering a balance of richness, clarity, and structure in a composed Junmai Daiginjo.

The aroma is layered and complex, with notes of citrus, peach, and gentle savoury undertones. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet controlled, offering depth without heaviness. Subtle earthiness and mineral character add dimension, while a refreshing acidity supports a clean and lingering finish.
