About

Made from Yamada Nishiki grown in Hyogo Prefecture and polished to a rice polishing ratio of 40%, this genshu (undiluted sake) is a flagship of Katayama Shuzo, crafted with care by skilled kurabito (brewery workers). Brewed with the delicious water of Nikko and the finest rice, this daiginjo offers an umami reminiscent of freshly cooked rice, and a sense of calm, unhurried time.
