AKATSUKIJunmai Daiginjo
Centrifugal Extraction

Harnessing the innovation of centrifugal Extraction, AKATSUKI excels both as a fresh sake and as an aged expression, revealing its true brilliance at the dining table. On the palate, it offers extraordinary clarity and gentle softness, followed by an immediate expansion of deep umami and weight, and a long, pristine finish free from any trace of roughness. Its most striking feature is its astounding smoothness ― the gentle sweetness of glucose, like powder snow, disappearing as it passes the throat.

Only the unrivaled purity of centrifugal pressing can fully unlock the potential of Yamadanishiki of the Special A district and AKATSUKI stands as its pinnacle ― a sake with the precision and cut of a Samuraiʼs Katana.

Tasting Notes

• Experience the unmatched smoothness achievable only through centrifugal extraction. Separated entirely from sake lees, the liquid attains a purity ideal for aging ― maturing beautifully for over a decade under refrigeration.
• Its high purity also invites creative “Samurai-Style” pairings: black pepper sake for steak, Kingyo-zake( “Goldfish Sake” ) with whole dried red chili peppers for spicy Asian dishes, a twist of lemon peel for refreshing brightness, smoky BBQ blends with peated whisky, or a zesty mix with lemon and ginger ale.
