About This Sake

Katsuyama 'Ken' Junmai Ginjo: Present for the Samurai

This elegant sake features a gentle, clean nose and smooth drinkability, with a flavor 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 choice for meals prepared to bring out the best in carefully selected ingredients. It goes well with lightly flavored foods and also with seafood.

The name 'Ken' means "to present something," or a "wonderful gift."

About The Brewery

About The Brewery

Founded in 1688 during the Genroku era, Katsuyama Brewery is a long-established brewery located in Sendai, a castle town of the Date clan with a fiefdom of 620,000 koku, and served as the official brewery of the Sendai clan during the feudal era. Established more than 330 years ago, the brewery has been the only official brewery in Sendai Prefecture, and in 2005, it was relocated from Uesugi, Aoba-ku, in the center of Sendai City, to Wazumi, Fukuoka City, at the foot of Mount Izumi, the source of the brewing water. 

We aim to express the original deliciousness and clear flavor of sake by making all of our sake with the utmost precision and purity.
