Tasting Notes

Named after the wagtail, a sacred bird in Japanese mythology, Katsuyama "Lei" is a beautifully crafted Junmai Ginjo designed to elevate the beginning of any dining experience. It presents an intense, fruity aroma that seamlessly transitions into a rich, luscious palate highly reminiscent of fine Japanese muskmelon. With its exceptionally smooth profile and naturally lower ABV, it serves as the perfect elegant aperitif.

Specifications

Class: Junmai Ginjo
Rice: Hitomebore
Polishing Ratio: 55%
ABV: 12%
Size: 720ml

Overview

Crafted with precision using Hitomebore rice, "Lei" offers a unique balance of vibrant aromatics and subtle, sophisticated sweetness. This makes it an incredibly versatile companion not just for traditional Japanese fare, but for a global range of cuisines.

Food Pairings: Perfectly complements meat dishes with sweeter glazes or sauces. Highly recommended with prosciutto, tempura, premium cheeses, and rich uni (sea urchin) dishes. It also pairs beautifully with Western, Chinese, and Southeast Asian appetizers.
