About Us

MANAAKI · OUR HERITAGE & VALUES

Our Story

Ancient Craft,
Enduring Spirit

Sang Luo Jiu was born on the ancient Sangluo Sandbar beside the Yellow River in Yongji, Shanxi Province. Its origins are documented as far back as the Northern and Southern Dynasties — the 6th-century Book of Northern Qi proclaims: "Puzhou Sang Luo Jiu — its name resounds across the land."

Tang and Song dynasty poets immortalised our spirit in verse. Wang Zhihuan's famous poem, written overlooking the Stork Tower after a cup of Sang Luo, echoes through Chinese literary history.

Today, Yongji Sangluowang Distillery Co., Ltd. carries that flame — preserving every step of the original earthenware-pit fermentation and copper-pot distillation, refusing shortcuts and additives.

Our Values

What We Stand For

01

Uncompromised Quality

Every batch is assessed by our master distiller before release. We source only the finest heritage sorghum from Yellow River wetland fields.

02

Living Tradition

We honour the ancient method — earthenware-pit fermentation, copper-pot distillation, natural maturation. Innovation serves preservation, never the reverse.

03

Manaaki · Hospitality

Drawing on the universal principle of manaaki — to care for and honour — we treat every partner and customer with the same deep respect we give to our craft.

Elder distillers pass down every step of the earthenware-pit method through oral tradition, preserving the craft across dynastic change.
