Lugu Lake sake is made from precious yam, corn, tartary buckwheat, wheat and high-quality alpine spring water as raw materials. The wine is clear and transparent, sweet and mellow, with a rich mouthfeel, pure and aromatic taste, sweet aftertaste, and unique style.
Lugu Lake sake is named after the Lugu Lake in the territory. According to legend, there was a goddess who fell in love with a condor and gave birth to a son named Zhigear in the human world. The condor did not return for a long time after going out. When Zhigaar grew up, his mother asked him to bring precious wine brewed from yam to find his father. There was no news from Zhigaar after he left home. The goddess who missed her husband and son shed tears all day long, and the tears formed a Lugu Lake. Later, the goddess established the "Axia Walking Marriage System", that is, matrilineal family marriage, on the shores of Lugu Lake, where women are the masters of the family, and passed down the method of making koji and wine from generation to generation.
Today, Lugu Lake sake has become the flagship product of Lugu Lake Liquor Co., Ltd. It uses precious yam to make koji, corn, tartary buckwheat, wheat and high-quality mountain spring water as raw materials, and is brewed using traditional handcrafts and modern high-tech technology. The wine is clear and transparent, sweet and mellow, with a rich mouthfeel, pure and aromatic taste, sweet aftertaste, and unique style.
