Choryo

Choryo is the flagship brand of Takahashi Shuzo, bearing the elegant classical alias of Nagaoka City. It is brewed using the skills of traditional 'Echigo Toji' within the historic red-brick brewery, designated as a National Cultural Property. The flavor embodies the quintessential Niigata 'tanrei karakuchi' (light and dry) style—clean and crisp, yet revealing a subtle umami within its cool clarity. As a perfect companion to daily meals and a cup that narrates local history, Choryo carries the pride of Nagaoka into the modern era as a truly traditional local sake.
