Shoryu Hourai

Shoryu Hourai is the brand that embodies the traditional brewing soul of Oya Takashi Shuzo. By actively employing ancient methods like 'Kimoto' and 'Yamahai,' the brewery extracts a robust, heavy umami and a layered complexity inherent in the rice. The true essence of this brand shines when served warm; it is exceptionally well-suited for 'Kan-agari' (flavor blossoming when heated). With a sturdy and resilient structure, the sake has the longevity to withstand years of aging, developing a mellow and mature character over time. This is a classic, honest brand that commands deep loyalty from connoisseurs seeking 'authentic sake' with a firm core, independent of modern trends.
