Ryo

Ryo is a personal flagship brand named after 11th-generation head Akira (Akira/Ryo) Kagiwada, distilling his relentless curiosity and creative sensibility into every drop. Both Dr. Nakazawa and Kagiwada share the character '亮' (Ryo) in their names, a character that signifies 'illuminating things brightly.' Befitting its name, this premium, small-batch brand acts as a light guiding the brewery's future, focusing on specific conditions and rare rice varieties. Each bottle embodies the head brewer's extraordinary passion, featuring a free-spirited and transparent flavor that effortlessly transcends the weight of tradition.
