Katsuyama Brewery from Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan

Supreme sake for the nobleman since 1688, specialising in sake with clean and clear umami.

Established in 1688, Katsuyama boasts a sake-making tradition spanning over three centuries.

Originally, the brewery catered exclusively to the feudal lords of the Sendai Domain, established by Japan’s renowned military commander and respected samurai, Date Masamune.

Today, Katsuyama proudly upholds this noble tradition, remaining dedicated to its esteemed reputation.

Distinguished as the only brewery in Japan to adopt the most luxurious and meticulous brewing method, Katsuyama produces only one tank of sake per week, exclusively crafting 'junmai' sake, a pure and undiluted style. The result is a sake with a clean and clear umami profile that complements any cuisine.

Katsuyama Gen

This is an extremely premium, luscious and fragrant dessert sake rich with depth and intensity. Notes of honey, marmalade, banana, pineapple, muskmelon, apricot, peaches, ginger, vanilla, yogurt, butterscotch, and mochi dance on the palate. The texture is equally enchanting, offering a velvety and decadent sensation that lingers with every sip.
