Kokuryu "Kuzuryu - Nine-Headed Dragon" Junmai

"Fukui brewers’ skill with 500 Mangoku rice is evident in this lovely release. The Nine-Headed Dragon is light-bodied yet beguilingly full-flavored, making for a truly satisfying junmai drinking experience. It drinks well with most Japanese foods when heated, especially umami-rich shellfish. Served chilled at 50 degrees, it pairs nicely with beef filet or grilled chicken.

Kuzuryu means nine-headed dragon and is a deity that appears in folklore and legends of various parts of Japan including Fukui Prefecture."
