RYUJIN - GUNMA PREFECTURE
Ryujin was founded in the 15th century, when a provincial warlord discovered a source of water ideal for making sake. Ryujin's soft underground water allows brewers to bring out the subtle flavours of their rice. The brewery's aim has remained the same throughout the ages: to produce a tasty, smooth, high-quality sake.
A sake with a floral nose, very pleasant with notes of citrus fruits. First impression in mouth is the quality of water, with a little acidic feeling, still on the sweetness of fruits (pineapple, pear). It is also a namazake, ie unpasteurized, bringing a lot of freshness. A fruity sake, low acid and thirst-quenching. <span...
A silky sake with an unusual sweetness. The nose is rather light, with hints of white peach and ripe melon. Its softness is enveloping, from nose to mouth. A little acidity and a light bitterness balances nicely its sweetness. Finish is long and thirst-quenching. Sweet, light, fruity, a sake with a unique style, very pleasant as an aperitif. <span...
