Kuro obi is made for Kuro obi by making several different types of sake with different rice polishing ratios and aging them separately and slowly over time. Each sake is developed to have its own distinctive flavor, and then each sake is batched at the time of bottling. If "blending" is the process of creating a single flavor by complementing each other, "batting" is the process of creating a new flavor by combining independent flavors.

Sake for ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurants) with a graceful elegance
This sake has a dry taste with a crisp, mellow flavor, and it has been carefully matured in the brewery to give it a relaxed and calm "Yuyuyu" taste. It is the beginning of Kurobelt and the most standard Kurobelt sake, and since its release in 1976, it has been trained by professionals with a keen sense of taste, especially at Kanazawa's restaurants. Although it is dry, it is not dry at all, and when heated, it is soft and shows its full flavor. It is an excellent match for sashimi, sushi, and other fish dishes.
