It's been a long time since I've had a medium-brewed Kurogyu.
This is delicious!
This is my first purchase since 2021.9
There's nothing particularly assertive about the smell when you open the bottle, but there is a slight freshness to the aroma!
On the palate, the alcohol content is high, but it doesn't feel as harsh as the specs!
Sweet and fresh, like green apples, juicy and a little sweet.
The aftertaste is sour and spicy, but gently fades away.
Again, the alcohol content does not feel as harsh as the specs, and the cost performance is very good for a husband with a little money to spend 😘.
Delicious!
My son's soccer story: ⚽️
Last Sunday we had a double header of different official games.
The first game was a complete victory, but because the opponent was about two levels below us, we couldn't do anything against a strong opponent in the next game of the tournament and lost badly 😰It can't be helped that we are inferior in skill... we have to practice... but as a parent, I'm not happy that we're losing in spirit... I want to see him play to encourage the team. I want you to show me how to play to encourage the team!
Good morning, kozo!
Black beef 🐮, cosy, isn't it? But I guess it's not for me 🤣.
Your son's soccer ⚽️, I understand the psychology of losing with feelings and the frustration of the parents. I can only cheer him on! 💪.

Hi there 🤩.
Kurogyu is really the best in terms of cost performance.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a good bottle of Kurogyu, but I'm not sure if you'll be able to find a bottle that has a high alcohol content! It would be great if you could taste it 👍
Good evening, kozo 😃!
Black Cow🐃! I know it goes against the recent trend of low alcohol 😅 but it's one I'd like to drink 🤗.
Getting drunk🤤 is no problem... but getting drunk🥴 is not good for the organizer. Is that what you're saying 🤔? Something different 😅
Sorry, I was being too funny😅.
The power to inspire is important, isn't it? I feel like there are fewer and fewer young people with a fighting spirit in the company 🙁.
Hi Koizo 🐦.
Sounds delicious 🐮 ❣️ I had a drink before and haven't had one since 💦 my taste buds are changing and I need to try it 😊.
Good luck to your son so he can win and lose comfortably 📣.
Jay & Nobby.
What? Did you say something funny? On the contrary, I'm glad that you two could get close enough to me to make fun of me 😘I'm the type of person who puts my feelings out there, so I'm more concerned about my son's technique than his...
Pon.
Good morning 😅
It is true that Kurogyu can be classified as a heavy and classical 😅, but I think the Nakatori series is brewed to be easy to drink 😊I have to quit making assumptions that I avoid without drinking it 😅.
It's not raw sake, but it was cheap. I have rarely had Kurogyu, but it is not bad. It is not a trendy sake, but I would like to drink it with simmered dishes and oden.
Black beef recommended by the owner of our favorite sushi restaurant. We found an unfiltered draft at our usual liquor store 😍18 degrees, so we must be prepared 💪 and today, sushi 🍣‼️
The first sip is delicious! It's good from the first sip. ❤️It's robust, firm, yet gorgeous and sharp. ‼️ I don't know what it is, but I've never been so impressed ✨The flavor is well balanced, not sharp in any way, but never light and with a strong presence. The temperature changes, and a sense of maturity also comes out! I'm sure this sake would look great on a more robust ryotei (Japanese-style restaurant) plate 💖.
Today at our house, we had O-toro medium fatty tuna, squid nigiri, and octopus sashimi. We welcomed Mr. Kurogyu with sea bream chikuwa isobe-age, mekabu and chilled tofu. ‼️ It went perfectly with soy sauce and other Japanese flavors. Since it's called beef, I wonder how it would be for steak? I'd like to try it again 🤫 if I can find fresh Mr. Kurogyu again. ‼️Thanks for the delicious sake. ❤️
Impressions of the sake by itself are in charge of shinsaku3💕.
Good evening, Mr. Pekho 🌛.
The first time I drank Wakayama sake before was with "Kurogyu" of the same spec 🥰.
Wakayama/Kushimoto town is famous for [tuna], so I think it goes well with sushi, but I think it would go well with beef too!
Please try it with Wakayama's brand beef✨!
Hi Jive ❤️ Hi ‼️ Black Cow, we had the same one ✨It was really good 😍I was impressed that the second day was as good as the first. Wakayama brand beef🐃That would be a nice pairing 😋.
Overall 9 (out of 10)
I had this at a sushi restaurant I go to a few times a year.
The black beef was delicious!
I found it at a liquor store I frequent and bought it 💰.
The owner of the sushi restaurant said it is his personal favorite sake.
I had it with sushi 😃.
It doesn't have any of the sweet and savory elements I like, but it's delicious 😋.
Hard, clear, contoured and dry.
Nothing stands out, it is highly balanced in areas other than sweet and umami.
No smell of alcohol even though it is about 19 degrees Celsius.
(although you will get drunk very quickly 😅).
It is the twin of Ohroku's lineage.
I'm curious about other types of Kurogyu 🧐.
I had it chilled.

Good evening, shinsaku3 🌛.
I've not had a drink in a while, but I'm planning a trip to Wakayama and am checking to see if I can stock up on other sakes there ✨.

Good morning, shinsaku3😃!
Black Beef 🐃 at Sushi Restaurant 🍣! Definitely sounds delicious 😋 We haven't had it but it was our next Wakayama sake candidate 🤗.
Good morning, Gyve 😃.
The general is hard looking too 🤣 so
I thought it wouldn't be a sweet and savory type before I drank it 😅.
I like your Wakayama trip ❗️
I heard that most of the beef shipped within the prefecture is black beef, so I'm sure you'll be able to find some 😃.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
It is indeed a sake that goes very well with sushi 🍣🍶.
It also matches the flavor of wasabi👍.
If you come across it, please give it a try 😃.
We're thinking of going back to buy some 😅
Sake and West Park. At
Slightly dry, slightly light.
It has a freshness and a sharpness, and would go very well with a meal.
The label is good 🐮🙆.
I received a sticker from the brewery: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sake and West Park. At
Sake from Wakayama Prefecture. This is an unfiltered, unfiltered, raw sake that is rich and full of flavor. It is a must for lovers of nama and hara-sake😊.
A junmai sake with a slightly spicy, moderate sweetness and slight acidity, easy to drink yet with a robust umami flavor. It is good as a mid-meal sake because it does not lose out to the stronger flavors. The aroma is not as strong as other sake, but as a food sake, it is rather beautiful.
Baroque music. Charcoal grill. Local sake. The people grilling over the counter are all wearing neckties. It is clean and relaxing. Everything is delicious every time.
