The History of Ryujin
Situated in the town of Tatebayashi, Ryujin House derives its name from the pristine water spring upon which it was established. Legend has it that the spring, discovered during the Edo period, was named Ryujin after a dragon deity emerged from its waters at the time of its discovery.
Renowned as one of the top sake producers, Ryujin Shuzo crafts a variety of sakes under two main labels: Oze No Yukidoke and Ryujin, both of which have garnered numerous accolades, including the esteemed International Wine Challenge.
With a proud legacy, the brewery remains dedicated to the philosophy of kaizen, or "the art of continuous improvement," to secure its future through constant refinement.
Tasting Notes
The essence of sake is, very simply, rice's sweetness, koji's depth, soft acidity, fresh aromatics, and a crisp finish. Ryujin Shuzo presents "Natsugin" - a special summer sake brewed while holding these principles as irrevocable fact, and brewing with intention of aroma and flavor sitting in perfect balance, tuned precisely to the sounds of summer.
