I found this Junmai Daiginjo by Tobiroki when I visited Matsuzaki in Kawagoe. It had been about 15 years since I had tasted Tobiroki itself. The mouthfeel is gentle and the aroma is mild, but the fruity sweetness spreads. After that, a moderate bitterness gives it a nice sharpness. It is still delicious.

This is the first time I have seen one with a black label 😲.
According to the owner, it is usually white labeled.
The owner said that the black label is even rarer among the hard-to-find
The black label is even rarer than the white label, according to the owner.
The aroma is fruity and the rice flavor is robust but not too full and elegant. Delicious 😋.
From the moment the bottle was opened, it was delicious, with a clean rice flavor without any alcohol.
The impression was that it was a sake that was different from modern tastes such as sweetness and freshness.

The aroma is gorgeous and the flavor is fresh and smooth.
The spiciness comes from the mid-palate and finishes cleanly.
It is so beautiful that you can't help but feel it's not enough.
