Katsuyama “Wonderful Gift” Ken Junmai Ginjo Fune-shibori
Kura Master 2019 Platinum medal and the overall “Champion Saké” at
the 2019 IWC awards, Katsuyama Ken was the world’s best sake in all categories out of 432 participating breweries worldwide and 1,500 entries.
This Junmai Ginjo is brewed by the famous Katsuyama brewery, which harnesses three centuries of brewing tradition and is renowned for their absolute focus to refinement with each bottle. A wonderfully luxurious bottle of saké, full of umami and depth. This elegant saké also features a gentle, clean nose with red apple and floral elements. It has a smooth and silky drinkability, with a fresh and juicy flavour that expands into a soft and supple fullness. The superb balance of slightly dry and mild acid tastes and well-rounded aftertaste make it an excellent pairing for meals prepared to bring out the best in carefully selected ingredients.
