About this Sake

A versatile type of sake that can be easily matched with any kind of food. Made with Hiroshima Prefecture's sake-specific rice variety Hattan Nishiki, the characteristics of the soft-water-brewing-process are used to create a mellow sake that is easy on the palate. The alcohol content is kept low while retaining the flavor of the koji and rice. It can be enjoyed at a wide range of temperatures, from cold to hot.

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.
