Hakuryuushuzou

Hakuryu Shuzo, founded in 1839, is a long-established brewery based in Agano City, Niigata Prefecture. In this land nurtured by the abundant water of the Agano River and the blessings of the fertile Echigo Plain, it has continued to pursue the strong yet neat taste of 'Hakuryu' for over 180 years.
A major feature is its diligent use of high-quality home-grown and local rice cultivated through the 'Sake Rice Research Group,' walking together with local contract farmers in Agano City. Its representative brand, 'Hakuryu,' has been highly evaluated internationally, including winning the Monde Selection Gold Award for many consecutive years. The taste, woven by traditional techniques of Echigo brewers, features an exquisite balance of refined lightness and mellow umami of rice, providing a comfortable sense of fulfillment every time you drink it. While respecting regional traditions, it is a prestigious brewery representing Agano that always pursues the best cup.
