The Tsuki no Katsura Asahi Junmai is a premium sake crafted by Masuda Tokubee Shoten, a historic brewery located in the Fushimi district of Kyoto. Established in 1675, Tsuki no Katsura is renowned for its commitment to traditional sake-making methods, including brewing exclusively during the winter months using handcrafted techniques.

This Junmai sake is brewed using Asahi-4-Go rice, a variety cultivated organically in Kyoto, known for its delicate aroma and smooth texture.
The rice is polished to a 60% milling ratio, resulting in a medium-bodied sake with an alcohol content of 15%.

The flavour profile is characterised by a harmonious blend of soft, milky notes and a lactic acid-like acidity, making it versatile enough to pair with a wide range of cuisines. Despite its rich umami aroma, the aftertaste remains smooth and crisp, whether served warm or chilled.

The Asahi Junmai exemplifies Tsuki no Katsura’s dedication to preserving the authenticity and artistry of traditional Japanese sake brewing.
