Katsuyama Ken Junmai Ginjo Nama (Raw Sake)

勝山 献 本生酒 純米吟釀

Katsuyama Ken Junmai Ginjo Nama is a fresh and vibrant expression of the classic Ken profile, crafted using premium Yamada Nishiki rice and carefully controlled fermentation. As an unpasteurised (nama) sake, it preserves its natural freshness and aromatic intensity, offering a more lively interpretation of the original style.

The profile is clean and expressive, with a refreshing sweetness supported by a light rice character and layered fruit notes. The palate remains smooth and well-balanced, with a gentle acidity that enhances its crisp and invigorating finish. Fresh yet composed, it delivers a bright and satisfying drinking experience.
