Limited edition sake for the year of the Snake
Kuroryu celebrates the start of the New Year
Every year, the very popular Kuroryu zodiac sign bottle is available again this year!
This freshly pressed Junmai Daiginjo is bottled in its unblended state to celebrate the start of the New Year.
The label is painted by the late calligrapher Inamura Undo, who supported the Kuroryu brewery in the early days of ginjo-shu.
The Chinese zodiac sign for 2025 is "Snake.
The snake has the image of a vindictive animal, but on the other hand, it is also said to be an animal that never forgets to return a favor. It is said that a snake saved by the king of Sui Dynasty in China "appeared to him in a dream and offered him treasures.
Snakes that shed their skin are associated with "resurrection and rebirth," and are considered an auspicious animal linked to immortality and strong life force.
Snakes have also been revered as "messengers of the gods" because they can survive without food.
I hope that the New Year will be filled with sincere smiles as we drink special black dragon zodiac sake at the banquet to discuss a bright future."
