・Excerpt from Ryo-Zeki Brewery's Official Website
Toji's (Master Brewer's) dedication to brewing
Since its establishment, Ryo-Zeki has fostered its own toji, and this tradition continues to this day.
Within this tradition, Ryo-Zeki independently developed "long-term low-temperature fermentation."
This technique was not kept exclusive but shared with various breweries, contributing to the improvement of sake brewing in the Tohoku region.

※What is long-term low-temperature fermentation?
Sake is made through 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, resulting in slow fermentation.
Rapid fermentation produces sake with a rough taste.
Slow fermentation results in a fine, smooth taste.
Long-term low-temperature fermentation is a brewing method that utilizes the cold climate of snowy regions to ferment slowly and quietly.
