About brand
āIf we make good sake, people will support it.ā Thatās been our motto since Kokuryu was founded in 1804 in the mountains of Fukui. Itās an ancient land, nestled between snowy peaks and the Sea of Japan, not far from the main Soto Zen temple Eihei-ji. From a long tradition of sake brewing, Kokuryu today stands as one of the regionās few survivors. We grow our own rice. We seek out special yeasts. And we strive for the best in brewing and maturation, hand-crafting only the highest-caliber sakes in small batches.
