Sake description :
Kuzuryu Junmaishu is the first junmai sake introduced to the world by Kokuryu Sake Brewery. Made with 65% polished Fukui Prefecture’s Gohyakumangoku rice, it is fermented at low temperatures, preserving the rice's natural flavor while achieving exceptional drinkability. It has a smooth, velvety texture with no sharp edges, and its gentle acidity harmonizes with the calm, savory taste of junmai. The aroma is reminiscent of fresh, sweet melon—subtle and elegant. When served warm, a "hitohada-kan" (around 35°C) is ideal. Warming the sake enhances the richness of the rice's flavor and leaves a cozy, lingering aftertaste, all in perfect balance. This versatile junmai sake pairs well with any dish and is enjoyable both chilled and warm. It embodies the crisp, smart flavor characteristic of Kokuryu. Kokuryu sake is brewed using the soft underground water sourced from the Kuzuryu River, which flows near the brewery. The "Kuzuryu" line is a special brand named after this river, reflecting its unique origins.
