Kokuryu Anniversary

The aroma opens with honeyed apple and yellow plum, lifted by citrus peel, white lily, and soft vanilla. The bouquet is refined and complex. On the palate, a silky texture reveals deep umami from long aging, with elegant sweetness and a rounded, harmonious structure. The finish is long, velvety, and beautifully aromatic.

From the prestigious Fukui brewery Kokuryu, this ultra-limited Daiginjo Ryu 50th Anniversary commemorates 50 years of the iconic Ryu. First released in 1975, Ryu helped define the daiginjo style and remains one of Japan’s most celebrated sakes. Brewed with Hyogo-grown Yamada Nishiki polished to 40% and aged five years at ice-cold temperatures, this anniversary edition offers greater depth and elegance than the standard release. Presented in a refined, luxury bottle, it is a true collector’s masterpiece.
