As it is meant for warming, it has a graininess, a mild mouthfeel, and a sinewy aftertaste.
A strong sense of concentration flows through the short, gentle taste.

Tonight, we are trying our first series of this brewery 💁.

It's amazing that this sake brewery in Kiso County, Nagano Prefecture has been around since 1650 (Edo Period) 🤩👏!
The sake rice is Miyamanishiki. The aroma is mild and grain-like. The first sip has a pleasant acidity and a hint of white sugar, followed by a grapefruit-like bitterness in the second half and a crisp finish. You will not get tired of drinking it, and you will easily drink more 😋😋😋😋.
Brings back memories of eating grapefruit with sugar when I was little 😊.
Atmosphere with less undulation than usual, eliminating the cloying aftertaste.
Slightly increased fullness.
Too easy to drink at astringency level 1.
It is too easy to drink and more people are likely to go crazy.
Light to drink, slightly sweet. Easy to drink.
The aftertaste is clean. Slightly sour and sweet aftertaste.
The sense of rice is not so strong, so anyone can drink it.
It's great if you drink it in the middle of the bottle.
If you drink it at the end of the day, you might drink too much and fall down.
Well, I'm in a period where I have to upload summer sake, so I'll start with this one, which I drank on a still-hot day at the beginning of October.
This Kuroemon XVI is a "nama-hashiroshi" (a traditional sake made from a traditional yeast yeast yeast). My lack of knowledge and assumptions, coupled with the fact that the name "sake yeast yeast yeast yeast" tends to be translated as lactic acidity, is close to that, but this one tastes more citrusy and has a strong acidity 🍊.
The citrus comes right away, so it's refreshing, but it also has the body that is typical of Kuroemon.
Hmmm, now that I think about it, it was delicious 😋.
Good evening, Waka 🦉.
Kuroemon's summer sake looks delicious😊I also can't get rid of the idea that sake yeast yeast yeast = sour 😂Another Kuroemon yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast was indeed moderately sour 🤔You have to try it to understand 😅.
Good evening, Pon-chan 😃I recommend this summer sake 😋 but it's true, you never know until you try it, and there are some brands you don't buy because of your assumptions. Experience is important. ☺️
For the finale, I decided on Kuroemon XVI. Since it was Aizan, it was not too sweet, but it was easy to drink due to its low alcohol content. I checked the description of the sake and found that it was Yamahagasa, but I didn't mind. It was a very satisfying sake party, and I wanted to finish it off with something a little lighter.
At the last raffle, we won a bottle of Matsu no Tsukasa.
It looks somewhat spicy, but I will open it when the time is right.

Kuroemon 16th Generation Yamahai Junmai Aki-agari
I have wanted to drink this sake for a long time. It was hard to find a place that sold it, and finally I was able to get it. The sake brewery is located at the highest altitude in Japan. The aroma is subdued, and when you drink it, it has a sweet and sour taste. I think this feeling is similar to that of Hiraizumi. It has a fruitiness, but it is not extremely juicy. It is a taste that one does not get tired of drinking. It is amazing that a sake with 80% rice polishing ratio is so clean and tasteless.
Degree of liking 9/10
When the bottle is opened, it has a sweet fruit aroma reminiscent of melon and apple that is somewhat subdued, but when you drink it, the aroma suddenly changes to a dark warm citrus acidity that spreads out in a sizzle, with a robust impact of classic sake's withered acidity and umami. Surprisingly, it goes well with karinto. It is good to drink slowly in the fall.
I see that the new sake is already out. There are still some fall sake 🍂 I bought a bottle of Juroemon Jugendai Kuroemon's Autumn Ari. It's my first time drinking this brand so I don't know the overall flavor, but it's a junmai yamahai sake, so as you can imagine, the acidity is pronounced and the taste is complex😳 As you drink it, you get used to it and it becomes addictive. I like this type of sake sometimes. I can drink this type of sake more and more compared to when I first started drinking sake.
Good evening, Mr. Studying 😃😃.
Congratulations on your first 16th Kuroemon ㊗️ 🎉The more you drink, the more your tastes expand 🤗It really is bottomless 😆
Good morning, Jay & Nobby. Thank you for your comment. It was still difficult for me to find the mountain waste 😓Although I'm sure I'll buy it again from time to time 😄.
