Collection: THE NIGHT EMPEROR

The Night Emperor

The Night Emperor

If you’re going to drink, smile. If you’re going to play, play for real.

If Ryusei is a label created to express a philosophy of sake brewing,
The Night Emperor is another side of us—
entirely free from all of that.

It requires no formalities or deep understanding.
The only thing that matters is that you find it "interesting" and "delicious" at first sip.
Seeing how the sake carries itself
amidst the atmosphere and bustle of the night—
that is the very reason this sake exists.

1982, an era when shochu reigned supreme.
Our fifth-generation head gave it this name, declaring, "If we’re going to do it, let's go all the way."
Behind a label that carries the scent of the Showa era
lies a spirit of seriously having fun.

It looks a little mischievous,
but tastes unexpectedly gentle.
With a name easy to remember and
a flavor that lets you drop your guard,
it has been loved for over 40 years.

We never cut corners, but we never act pretentious.
This is a sake born from the serious play of adults.

Since 1982
