We received a bad review of our matchup about 3 years ago and would like to re-evaluate it, with apologies...
Jacket value ... 7/10
The combo of Japanese paper style label + black letters + green bottle is enough.
Ki ... 18/20
It has a long-range maturation smell, not only Alc but also sweetness on the tongue.
Sei... 18/20
The sweet and tasty taste and the increase in the Alc attack are characterized by the expansion of the flavor, which is more horizontal than vertical. With this much firepower, it seems like it would produce something unpleasant, but you don't feel it.
Rolling ... 19/20
The first half of the bottle has a good texture after it is allowed to settle down, and you can taste the stability of aged sake.
Yui ... 18/20
The same aroma has been smoky from the beginning, but it is effective to give it to the customer as a reminder at the end.
Cospa ... 8/10
Good price including the waiting period.
The aroma and flavor are high-fired, and the texture is good.

There is a clear "hit or miss" with heavy wines, but this one transcends this concept.
This is a wine that has a strong aroma and flavor, without any cloying taste, and does not reek of alcohol.
This may be unique to this vintage, but I feel that aging is an important factor.
At my favorite standing bar CHUIN, which has been back in business for a long time, I had not enough time to talk with the owner, Mr. Kawada, so I went to the last 🍶 of Adjunct One's ④.
We had a black beef with the store's recommended sticker "I like this".
Meite Sake Brewery in Wakayama, I learned to read "nazu" 📝.
This sake is named after the famous Kurogyu Lagoon in Kainan City, the brewery's hometown🐃.
The appearance is crystal with yellowish green tints, almost transparent.
The aroma is classic with a pleasant sweetness that is also fruity and slightly cool alcoholic.
The rice aroma is also powdery and rich.
In the mouth, it has a smooth texture.
It has a very moderate rice sweetness and a classic acidity that seems to have a sharp core.
The alcohol is crisply released, while the warmth and sweetness of the alcohol linger in the aftertaste.
I personally am not a fan of classic sake, but this one has a freshness and fruity quality that is quite nice.
The restaurant is getting crowded, so I'll leave it at this.
After all, it is a special occasion to celebrate my sake master's discharge from the hospital, and as always, sake is a special thing to savor while quietly chatting with him 🍶.
When Mr. Kawada is able to drink again, I will visit him again to discuss sake with him with my sake recommendations!
Thank you for the sake 🍶.
Hello Aladdin-san 🐦🐦🐦.
I'm glad Mr. Kawada is out of the hospital & back to work 😊It was 4 drinks that Aladdin-san seemed to enjoy 🎶.
I see you read "naz" 😳I just learned that now 😆🙏🙏.
Good morning, Pon-chan 😃.
I will post more later, but Kawada-san has been re-admitted to the hospital and undergone another surgery 😌 (with your permission to disclose this information: 🙇♂️).
I just wish you a safe recovery so that we can have such a good time again 🙏.
This is a comment from an amateur drinker. Today, I made nigirizushi lightly at home because I had leftover tuna from the other day and fresh horse mackerel available. Unlike the usual junmai sake, this Kurogyu had the strength of a bullfighting bull. However, it was not only strong but also gently sweet and soft. The dryness continues to have character, and I am always impressed by the breadth of Kurogyu. We are thankful for another delicious sake today! Cheers to all!
Cow from monkey
The rest of the mountain monkeys, black cows from men's wine, women's wine
Is that what No. 9 can do?
It's the depth of sake that can be understood by comparing them.
Mellow sake. There is not much aroma, and in the mouth it has a soft sweetness, followed by bitterness and a touch of alcohol. It probably tastes better if the temperature range is raised. Also, as a mid-meal sake, it is best paired with something umami, which will soften the alcohol feeling!
