Mellow, crisp sake aroma, mirin-type.
The aroma is like barley and brown sugar.
The texture is surprisingly light.
It has a full-bodied, rich rice flavor.
The acidity is moderately tightening.
There is a slight aroma of rice with a hint of sweetness later on.
The finish is surprisingly refreshing.
Elegant and cohesive.
The gentle konnyaku stew is a perfect match.
Degree of liking ☆4/5

It is cold this morning.
I feel cold even with a jacket on.
I miss heated sake😅←Asakara...
It's been a while since I've had Kurogyu hiyaoroshi (hiyaoroshi is a Japanese sake made from black cattle)
It's unpasteurized sake, so the alcohol content is high.
After opening the bottle, it has a slightly sweet aroma and when poured into a glass, it has a slightly yellow color.
When you take a sip, you will be surprised! A wave of punchy flavor comes over you with a light sweetness and graininess that reminds you of black cattle.
It doesn't feel spicy like +7.0, but it is definitely umami spicy, and I think the high alcohol content also influences the spicy feeling.
Delicious!
Good evening, kozo 😃.
It was really cold 🥶I wanted to put heated sake in a tumbler🤣.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to drink it if it's over 18 degrees 😅I'm sure I'll be able to drink it if it's Umashin 😚I've never had Kurogyu 🐃I'd like to try it👍.

#Drinking at home
Immediately after opening the bottle, the iron mask of Gohyakumangoku was on full display, and it had a tough, tough taste that was far removed from the image of umami-filled black beef.
I did not like it at all, but when I drank it three days later, it became a little less angular and more umami.
However, I still think that the Ihyakumangoku is too strong and would not go well with gently seasoned dishes.
It might be a good match for simmered dishes or meat, though.
But I still don't like "Gohyaku-mangoku.
Today we will have a sake from Wakayama.
The aroma is gorgeous and refreshing.
How does it taste?
The sweetness of the rice spreads in the mouth with a refreshing aftertaste. It has a good weight and is enjoyable to drink.
It goes well with sashimi.
Kurogyu Junmai Ginjo, 100% Yamadanishiki, Polishing ratio 50%, Sake degree +4.0
Purchased as a souvenir of a trip to Wakayama
It is refreshing, but because it has more than 16% alcohol, I felt like I was consuming a lot of alcohol.
The aftertaste was clean and non-habitual.
I like spicy, sweet, and with an aftertaste, so I felt like I was missing something 🤔.

Black Beef Teahouse Limited Ocean
Is the limited edition always naming the color of the label or the label from the naming?
It's crisp, dry, and great on the palate and down the throat!
You can drink it all at once!
It is very expensive, as you would expect!
The basement of the Tokyo Kotsu Kaikan, which I often pass by, is full of small stores like back streets.
Today, to kill a little time this afternoon, I stopped at a Wakayama antenna store and had a glass of "Kurogyu" (black beef).
