A new soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivar called "Shuryu" was developed at the NARO Tohoku Agricultural Research Center in 2013. This cultivar was selected from a cross between "Tohoku 143" and "Karikei 675" with the goal of developing a cultivar with resistance to soybean mosaic virus (SMV), large seed size and good quality. "Shuryu" is classified into maturity group III based on the data of its maturity at Kariwano, Akita (latitude 39°32' N, longitude 140°22' E). It has purple flowers, gray pubescence and brown pods at maturity. It has a medium plant height with determinate growth and medium height of the lowest stem nod with a pod. It is resistant to SMV strains A, B, C and D as well as to lodging. "Shuryu" has large, good quality, yellowish-white seeds with yellow hila. It is suitable for tofu processing because of its medium protein content. "Shuryu" showed high productivity and adaptability in the northern Tohoku district.
