・Excerpt from Ryozeki Shuzo Official Website
Toji and brewing craftsmanship
Since its founding, Ryozeki has cultivated its own toji, and that tradition 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, resulting in rapid fermentation.
If the temperature is low, yeast activity becomes slow, resulting in slow fermentation.
Rapid fermentation produces rough-tasting sake.
Slow fermentation produces sake with a fine, delicate taste.
Low-temperature long-term fermentation is a brewing method that utilizes the cold climate of snowy regions to ferment slowly and gently.
