CASARECCIO NERO Junmai Nama-zake
When we went to the next town to buy Jikin, we were attracted by the stylish label and bought it. I think Ikegumo is more famous.
It is served cold.
The label said to be careful when opening the bottle because the cap would fly open, so I held the crown and popped the sealed cap off.
The color is light and cloudy like a mist.
The top-tasting aroma is koji aroma mixed with a slightly grapey aroma.
The mouthfeel is gaseous and slightly effervescent.
The delicate, moderate rice sweetness and edgy acidity make it refreshing and crisp despite being orikara-mi. It also has a sharp milky taste and is not overly sour.
This is a gem that is as stylish as its stylish label.
NERO is Italian for "NERO" because black malted rice is used, and NERO of Sakaya Hachibei, which I drank before, was named after a cat.

Hi Tsuyodai, 😊this booze gas is amazing 😳I'm glad I followed the warning signs and was cautious 😁I would have been in trouble if I let my guard down for a minute 🤣.
The gorgeous label is very attractive.
The white malted rice one we had in spring was good, but this one, made with black malted rice, was also quite tasty.

Cold sake.
Aroma is subdued.
It has a peculiar sour taste due to the use of white malted rice. It seems to be to different tastes...
It can be served by itself, but I personally like to have something to snack on.
