雫の日記 | shizuku no nikki 🇯🇵
Nestled between snow-capped peaks and the Sea of Japan, Kokuryu brews only the highest quality sake, made in small batches & by hand.
Their water springs as snow in the high altitudes of the Hakusan Mountains and they polish only the finest rice varieties, including the prized Yamadanishiki rice from the Tojo region of Hyogo Prefecture and Gohyakumangoku rice from Fukui itself.
Inspired by the methods of wine maturation in France, which they also apply to sake, they have created drops that are characterized by an elegant taste and a silky feel.
And their elegant, artistic bottle labels are particularly eye-catching.
SAKE in Ori, silk and velvet...
• The Kuzuryu Daiginjo | Wrapped in black velvet, this matured sake expresses elegance, luxury & warmth.
• The Kokuryu Ryu Daiginjo | Complex, elegant & gently aromatic, with a concise bouquet, a jewel of a sake.
• The Kokuryu Jungin | Fresh & lively, at the same time intensely flavorful, dynamic & mysterious - a beautiful all-rounder.
• The Kuzuryu Ippin | Elegant, slightly sweet, fruity and versatile - an exciting food companion.
• The Kokuryu Gin no Tobira | An aromatic Daiginjo in mini format (150ml), fresh & elegantly mineral.
