・Excerpt from Ryozeki Brewery Official Website
Brewmaster's Dedication to Brewing
Since its founding, Ryozeki has cultivated its own brewmasters in-house, a tradition that continues today.
Within this tradition, Ryozeki independently developed "long-term low-temperature fermentation."
This technology was not kept to ourselves but was shared with other breweries, contributing to the improvement of sake brewing in Tohoku.
*What is long-term low-temperature fermentation?
Sake is made by the fermentation of yeast.
If the temperature is high, yeast activity becomes vigorous, leading to rapid fermentation.
If the temperature is low, yeast activity slows down, leading to slow fermentation.
Rapid fermentation results in sake with a rough taste.
Slow fermentation results in a finely textured taste.
Low-temperature long-term fermentation is a brewing method that utilizes the cold climate of snowy regions to ferment slowly and quietly.
