Lightly cloudy with a hint of sweetness. It has a gorgeous aroma that can only be achieved with aleso. The easy-to-drink aftertaste cuts through easily. The alcohol content is high at 18%. Sake rice is Gohyakumangoku, and the rice polishing ratio is 65%.

Summer Shibori! Slight amber color It has a strong alcohol feeling. It has a lot of punch! It's a sake like Fukui Prefecture. It's delicious.

The aroma is subdued❓. When you drink it, it is faintly melon 🍈😊. The sweetness is moderate, not too spicy and smooth❗️ It's an aluzoe, but it's not too alcoholic and it's gentle 👍 but it's too gentle and it's not enough🤔. I've heard that it's recommended to drink it warmed up, so I'm going to try that next time❗️Overall, it was a light and easy to drink delicious sake😊.

This sake was given to me as a drink service when I boarded a Grand Class bullet train. The sake has no peculiarities and goes into the mouth without a hitch, and finishes cleanly. It has a strong umami flavor that goes well with the Japanese light meals served in the Grand Class cabin. Since it is a 1-ounce bottle, it is easy to drink up quickly.

Kutouryuu is another brand of Kuroryu. This one is more reasonably priced than Kuroryu, and is said to be a bottle suitable for everyday dining. Made from Gohyakumangoku grapes grown in Fukui, it has a refreshing melon-like taste with a moderate sweetness. It has a firm core and a moderately dry aftertaste. It goes perfectly with fish dishes. It is the best food sake and you will never get tired of drinking it. I think the flavor will expand even more if it is heated.

The third drink of the day was a Daiginjo nigori sake from Kuzuryu: ❤️ I enjoyed all the sakes we had yesterday, but I think this one was the best. It had just the right amount of sharpness, yet fruity and gassy, it was a cup of paradise 😊.
