Suishin no Nakiryu

"Suishin no Nakiryu" is a sake symbolizing the history and culture of Nikko, named after the famous "Nakiryu" (Crying Dragon) ceiling painting in the Honjido (Yakushido) of Nikko Toshogu Shrine.
Nakiryu is known for a mysterious reverberation like a dragon's cry when wooden clappers are struck at a specific spot. This brand combines that Nikko legend with the god of sake (Suishin) in an intriguing naming.
Using groundwater from the Nikko Mountains and carefully selected rice, it is painstakingly brewed with the Junmai method that Watanabe Sahei Shoten excels in. The sound of pouring and the clear umami that spreads in the mouth aim for a refined quality that resonates pleasantly like the "Crying Dragon." It is a cup filled with storytelling that awakens memories of a journey to Nikko.
