[Kokuryu Ryu]
Daiginjo

A breakthrough daiginjo, Ryu was the first to bring French wine maturation techniques to sake-brewing and the first daiginjo released nationwide. Well-rounded, gently aromatic and surprisingly incisive.

Crystal Dragon]
Daiginjo

Crystal Dragon is made from domestically grown rice in a gradual low-temperature fermentation process. Kokuryu’s proprietary yeast gives it a graceful aroma and clean taste.

[Kokuryu Jungin]
Junmai Ginjo

A sake that expresses the natural flavor of select Gohyakumangoku rice from Fukui. The harmony of taste and fragrance creates a depth of flavor—rich, dynamic and mysterious.

[Kokuryu Gin no Tobira]
Ginjo

Literally “The Doors of Ginjo,” Gin no Tobira is a new-generation sake for everyone. Light, fruity and aromatic, in a convenient single-serving blue bottle as inviting as its name.

[Kokuryu Kijoshu]
Kijoshu

Kijoshu, literally “nobly brewed sake,” is a luxury label which in part uses sake instead of water during the brewing process. Kokuryu Kijoshu is clean and well-balanced, with the flavor of ripe lychee—meltingly luscious, but surprisingly refreshing.

[Kokuryu Cloudy Dragon]
Nigori Junmai Ginjo
February

Released in February at the peak of the brewing season. fresh-pressed “Cloudy Dragon" is a light nigori–not the creamy style. It is full of vitality, but surprisingly light for a genshu (undiluted) sake. Shake the bottle gentle before serving, and let it settle into your glass like early spring snow.

[Kokuryu Nizaemon]

[Kokuryu Shizuku]
Daiginjo

An elegant daiginjo named after the fresh, clear liquid collected drop by drop from cotton bags filled with moromi, or sake mash. Its clean and beautiful flavor will remind you of the coldest day in winter.

[Kokuryu Hachijuhachigo]
Daiginjo

Eighty-eight is a supremely lucky number in Japan, suggesting as it does the character for “rice.” An excellent, perfectly balanced daiginjo rich with umami undertones.
