Ryu

Ryu is a special limited brand established in 2000 to pursue the infinite individuality of Japanese sake. Its name carries the meaning of 'surging upward,' reflecting an ambition to reach even greater heights while honoring the flagship 'Tanzawasan.' Its most defining feature is the refusal to blend, bottling sake from individual tanks to preserve and celebrate their unique character—much like a single-cask whisky. Connoisseurs are drawn to the dramatic, direct experience of the specific rice variety, terroir, and yeast profile of each distinct batch. As a 100% Junmai sake, Ryu offers a more refined sharpness and a robust umami that continues to captivate serious sake enthusiasts.
