For those who love horse racing
I wonder if those of you who love horse racing have some feelings for her.
And for sake lovers,
It was the day of Kuroemon XVI.
I'm just saying so myself 😁.
I couldn't drink it last year.
This year I prepared it properly: ✌️
It has a little bit of carbonation, which is typical of nama-zake, and the alcohol content is 13%.
It has 13% alcohol content but it is not light.
It is not light,
It has a moderate sweetness and umami flavor.

This is the only thermal tank fresh-stored product from Kuroemon XVI. It has a mellow, banana-like aroma over the summer while retaining its freshness. The low white content and Yamahai process give it a rich flavor and a great drinking experience.
I drank Kuroemon for the first time on a trip to Matsumoto.
It was so good that I bought it as a souvenir for myself.
Fruity apple taste, calm flavor.
It goes well with sushi rice and vinegared rice.
But it doesn't go well with Sashimi.
We welcomed a sake that we enjoyed drinking at an izakaya.
The aroma is fruity, with a fresh sweetness and acidity like muscat, and the second half is tangy and dry.
Two days after opening the bottle, the sweetness and acidity increased and it became more mellow and muscat-like.
It is light on the palate, so it is easy to drink, but the umami and richness of junmai sake can also be felt and the balance is excellent!
I have been on a local sake boom in Nagano recently. It is delicious.
One of my favorite Shinshu sake, summer sake from Kuroemon XVI 😆.
I like the mosquito coils on the label 👍
The sake is juicy, refreshing and well-balanced 🤤.
It was gone in no time 🙌!
Slight schwarziness
Juicy aroma and sweet flavor
Lingering in the mouth
Quite my favorite flavor
Serve with cream cheese soaked in brown sugar and soy sauce
The richness of the cream cheese is combined with the richness of the brown sugar and soy sauce.
It did not go well with the liver with sesame salt.
Kinmonn Nishiki's freshness that we got last year too!
It is rich, sweet and delicious 😋.
But surprisingly acidic and not too heavy 🤔.
Nagano sake =👍 after all!
