My first sake. It is a rare sake brewed with black koji. It is said that black koji contains more citric acid than the white koji originally used for sake, so the accent of acidity becomes more prominent. In fact, when you drink it, you can feel a good amount of richness in the moderate acidity. It seems that the higher the alcohol content, the more punchy the acidity becomes. By the way, this sake is 15 degrees, so it is not that strong, so I think it is suitable for everyone.

This sake is brewed only with black koji. It is sour and has a strong taste. It is brewed in oak barrels, so it has a faint aroma of oak.
The label is finished in a wine-like style. It goes well with Western food.
It was a sake with a lot of spirit.

・Preference: ★★★☆.
Memo: I talked to the shop assistant about looking for a sake that doesn't look like flax cat, and this is the first bottle he introduced to me. The balance of sweetness and sourness is good (sweeter than the Flax Cat, with less sourness). Almost no gas feeling. The taste is closer to that of the Flax Cat than the GOWARINGO, but it doesn't seem as juicy?
I don't know...
