The color is slightly yellow.
Immediately after opening the bottle, the beautiful and delicate mouthfeel has a strawberry 🍓 with a slightly woody aroma 🌲.
As the temperature rises and the flavor increases, almonds and caramel appear. And the woody aroma is up 🍶.
It went well with chicken with sweet and sour sauce and beef cooked like sukiyaki 😋.
I wanted to try Ikegame's sake but could not find it, and finally came across Kurokabuto, so I bought it. However, the arrival of the standard was uploaded on that liquor store's SNS the next day.
The label described the taste as white wine, but my taste buds did not detect it. It has a fresh sake taste and is easy to drink. The acidity, which is probably a feature of black malted rice brewing, is not so remarkable, but it is pleasant.
It is delicious, but something is missing. Please forgive my selfishness 😂.
This is the first sake made with Yume Issho.
Clear sake with an ethyl caproate-type ginjo aroma of apples, pears, etc.
It is easy to drink with a good balance of moderate sweetness and acidity. I like it a lot.
Compared with unfiltered raw sake.
Compared to it, it is light or sharp.
I thought it was like a young tomato 🍅 and thought 'it will be interesting if I raise the temperature❗️' 😊.
A little yellow. Quite sharp. Sweet fruity taste on the palate. It might remain on the tongue a little. It tastes like shochu because it is made from shochu malt.

I've had many sakes that I thought were like white wine, but this one is one of the most white wine-like.
I don't know if "easy to drink, like white wine" is the right word of praise for sake, but for those who are not good at sake, this is a great entry point.
The aroma, apple-like and grape-like. The sweetness is not so strong, and the bitterness spreads after the drink.
It can be enjoyed either on its own or with food.
I love it ❤️ 97 points.
It is powerful and has a unique acidity.
It was slightly fruity and slightly winey.
The balance is not bad, and it seems to have a wide range of uses as a food wine. It went well with cream cheese.
It was an interesting drink 🍶.
The Black Helmet booth.
They were polite to the drunken crowd and talked about Kurokabuto well.
I think it had an impressive acidity and a strong flavor.
