Katsuyama Lei

A unique sake with a creamy, complex sweetness and balanced umami - Japan's answer to a German Spätlese. This sake was composed as an accompaniment to French cuisine, ideal with foie gras, cheese variations or meat dishes rich in umami. Fruity aromas of papaya, honeydew melon and a hint of mint harmonize perfectly with spicy or slightly hot starters. Its mild acidity and elegance make it a natural introduction to the world of sake.

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...
