Higashi no Homare Ryu Ryu Ryu Ryu (龍龍龍龍) is a premium Junmai Daiginjo from Azumanofumoto Sake Brewery in Yamagata Prefecture. The unusual name is formed by writing the character 龍 (dragon) four times, creating the complex character “てつ”. The name represents the considerable time and effort invested in crafting this sake.
Made with 100% Aiyama rice, a highly regarded sake rice known for producing expressive, rounded flavours, the rice is polished to an impressive 40%, leaving only 40% of the original grain. The sake is produced using a careful bag-pressing/shizukudori-style method, allowing the brewery to obtain a refined expression with a clean texture and elegant depth.
The result is a beautifully balanced Junmai Daiginjo with a soft mouthfeel, refined sweetness and generous umami. Its fruit-driven aromatic profile and elegant texture make it suitable both for drinking on its own and alongside delicate Japanese and Asian cuisine.
