虎年大吉2022虎氣冲天 純米大吟醸

Katsuyama brews sake that lets you experience clean, clear umami. While umami is often translated into English as “savory taste” ordeliciousness,” these words do not capture the real meaning. Umami has long been used to describe the most basic concept of Japanese cuisine,but only recently has it become recognized as a flavor element in the West. The quality of umami is known to have a major influence on Japanese food. Because umami is something that exists also in Western cuisine, it has now become acknowledged all over the world as the “fifth taste” alongside sweet, sour, bitter, and salty.

Katsuyama sakes are best chilled ahead of time and drunk in a wine glass. The greatness of Katsuyama sake cannot be appreciated adequately in ordinary sake cups. If no wine glass is available, choose a tall, wide glass with thin rim, and fill it about one-third full. Pour a little at a time so that the temperature does not become too warm while drinking.
