About this Sake

A limited seasonal sake made with Hiroshima Prefecture's sake-specific rice variety Hattan No.35. As the sake that kicks off the brewery's ginjo production each year, it strikes a nice balance between clear tastes and a slight sweetness.

Ryusei

The Ryusei brand, designed by the original brewery founder, has a long history, dating back to when it won the inaugral Annual Japan Sake Awards in 1907. Unfortunately, Ryusei disappeared during the period around World War II, when junmai sake production was prohibited due to rice shortages. However, 30 years later, the fifth generation of the family business successfully revived Ryusei sake and brought it back to the market.
