Good sake goes well with good fish, so I'm feasting alone again this evening.
This is the first time for me to try Kurogyu Midori Label. It is a robust sake made with Omachi, which is more like a buffalo than a bull. It has a punch! It also has a character that becomes docile when the temperature drops, and I thought it was a tsundere character that sake lovers would love. Tonight, too, I would like to express my gratitude for the encounter with this wonderful sake and offer a cup of sake!
In the mood for a relaxing drink alone, I went shopping to Yamanaka Sake Shop.
I drank Kurogyu for the first time in a very long time. It has a melon-like aroma and a high alcohol content of 18-19%.
The rice is Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku. Association No. 9 yeast. This yeast is definitely delicious.
Delicious...
It is sweet and fruity, with a hint of sourness, so it's not too strong.
The alcohol content is a moderate 15%, so you can enjoy it as much as you want.

I drank
Kurogyu Junmai Daiginjo
Polishing ratio 38% Yamadanishiki 16.5 degrees Sake degree +1.5 Acidity 1.3
Amino acidity 0.7 5200 yen
It is a little gorgeous and not like Kurogyu, but it is interesting because it is a different type from usual. The taste towards the latter half of the bottle has a unique atmosphere that is typical of Kurogyu.
