Kyokujo

"Kyokujo" is a special brand from Aizawa Shuzo, named after the image of the morning sun rising over Shiroyama in the center of Sano City. "Kyoku" (Rising Sun) symbolizes the morning sun, and "Jo" (Castle) symbolizes high-class dignity.
Positioned as a top-tier line that gathers the best of Aizawa Shuzo's technology, it is characterized by a mellow flavor and a rich body that expertly draws out the maximum umami of the rice.
While it can be enjoyed chilled for a refreshing sensation, warming it slightly (Nurukan) further expands the umami, allowing for a deep, complex flavor. As a cup for special occasions, it is a brand that combines strength and elegance, evoking the rich history of Sano.
