About
In ancient Japanese belief, the guardian deities of the four directions were Genbu (the black tortoise) of the north, Suzaku (the vermilion bird) of the south, Seiryu (the azure dragon) of the east, and Byakko (the white tiger) of the west. The east belongs to the dragon, hence Azumaryu (東龍). The label is boldly decorated with a dragon holding a nyoi-ju (wish-granting jewel). Azumaryu Junmai Ginjo has a crisp, well-defined palate and a refreshing, clean character.
