Tasting Notes

Katsuyama Diamond Akatsuki Junmai Daiginjo combines remarkable purity with concentrated depth. Its no-pressure centrifugal separation creates a silky, almost weightless texture, allowing gentle rice sweetness and focused umami to unfold with exceptional clarity. The palate feels precise and substantial, then finishes with a clean, sharply defined aftertaste that lingers without roughness.

Begin serving at 7–12°C in a wine glass. Pair with red meat, richly marbled dishes, sea urchin, botan shrimp sashimi, refined French cuisine, or an elegant kaiseki menu.

Overview

Brewed by Katsuyama Shuzo in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Diamond Akatsuki is the most selective expression of Katsuyama's centrifugal sake-making. Its Ultra-Core system separates the liquid without contact with the lees, filter bags, or external pressure, capturing an exceptionally pure portion of the sake. Immediate storage at approximately -5°C helps preserve its transparency and structure. Inspired by the diamond's four Cs—cut, color, clarity, and carat—the result balances sharp definition, brilliant clarity, concentrated presence, and a remarkably smooth texture. Its purity also gives the sake significant potential for long-term refrigerated aging.
