Katsuyama Gen

Produced using traditional techniques from the Genroku era (1688-1704) and state-of-the-art technology, it is perfect with cheese, desserts or foie gras. Katsuyama has been pursuing absolute perfection for over three centuries - this sake is the perfect representation of their commitment to excellence.

Classification of Premium Sake

For high quality sake, rice is polished prior to processing with the goal of eliminating the bran and protein which encase the starch held at the center of the rice grain. The smaller the rice polishing ratio (expressed as a percentage of the original rice weight), the finer and more aromatic the sake. Learn more about the different classes of of Premium Sake...
