Hakuryu

Hakuryu is a flagship brand symbolizing the brewery that Hakuryu Shuzo, founded in 1839, has continued to brew for over 180 years. It originates from the founder, who used to run a shipping business, naming the brand after the 'dragon, the guardian deity of the sea' wishing for safety of voyages and prosperity of business, and it combines strength and elegance suitable for the name.
Its greatest feature is the overwhelming transparency woven by high-quality sake rice grown with contract farmers in the fertile land of Agano and clear water of the Agano River system. While maintaining traditional light and dry style, the taste that draws out the deep umami of rice is truly a legitimate Niigata sake to be proud of. The astounding record of winning the Monde Selection Gold Award for over 30 consecutive years proves its unchanging high quality. It is a famous sake representing Agano that demonstrates its true value in every temperature range, from chilled for a clear throat feel to hot for a plump aroma.
