Ban Ryu translates to ‘ten thousand ways,’ a phrase often used in the sake realm to address the question of how many ways one sake differs from another. The answer, in ‘ten thousand ways,’ encompasses various factors such as the yeast used, the koji, the brewing timing, and more. Additionally, it conveys a more casual sense of ‘versatility.’ The brewery endeavors to capture both of these meanings in its name, firmly believing that this sake can be savored in countless waysbe it chilled, warmed, hot, paired with light or hearty dishes, sweet or spicy cuisine.
