I bought this at the brewery's direct sales counter on my GW trip to Nagano! I had a great shopping experience with the courteous staff and went home feeling great!
The aroma is what you would call "sake" with a hint of alcohol. It also has a grassy nuance.
Immediately after taking a sip, there is a pleasant sourness that lasts until the end. Of course there is sweetness, but if anything, it is more umami. The bitterness is gentle at the end.
It has a juicy atmosphere with acidity as if it is made from a sake yeast yeast. Kurosawa is a brewery that specializes in making sake from the "nama-hashiroshi," so I was convinced after drinking it that it was made from the "nama-hashiroshi.
I was told at the brewery that the sake has an excellent balance of the four tastes of sweetness, flavor, acidity, and bitterness, and this is exactly what it tastes like. It has a good acidity, but it is not showy at all. It is a sake that goes well with any meal, and I am sure I will become a fan of Kurosawa Shuzo after drinking it.
This is their regular product, so they are a brewery of extraordinary quality.
It goes well with shime saba (mackerel), salty yakitori, grilled fresh onions, and omelettes! It goes with everything!
I heard that this sake has sweetness, sourness, spiciness, bitterness and astringency, all of which can be tasted. As it says, it has a deep and complex taste, and is delicious. #㋣ #Maruto #Kozo #Junmai Ginjo Nama #Kozukuri #Akiagari #Unfiltered Original Sake
The one by my mother's family's house that's made with traditional yeast mills.
It was easy to drink and I drank a lot.
I can't remember what it tasted like, so I guess I was drinking drunk.
I think it was tastier and easier to drink than I thought it would be.
A souvenir from my colleague😊.
He bought it at the direct sales place of the brewery during GW.
When I asked the clerk what he recommended when I bought it
"Is the recipient a drinker?
I'm not sure.
I'm so glad I did.
When I answered
He recommended this one instead of the Daiginjo.
It's definitely my favorite.
It's very light if you drink it cold.
But lukewarmly heated, it's delicious!
Sweetness! It has a great flavor 😆😆.
It doesn't have that tingling that you get when you put it in your mouth.
This is the first time I've ever felt this warmed up.

The best 👍👍.
Ario Ueda Store Buy at Sake Event
Kurosawa / Home-grown rice Hitokoguchi / Sake brewing
I bought it on the spot👍.
Unlike the current trendy sweet and sour sake.
It is a thick sake.
I've not had this kind of sake in a while 😆.
Tonight I'll have a cold brew of #Maruto Ikizushi Junmai Ginjo from Kurosawa Shuzo, in Sakuho, Minamisaku-gun, Nagano Prefecture. A relative gave it to me as a gift, but I haven't opened it for almost a year now💦 It's slightly golden in color because it's matured, and it's not too sweet, but the sourness of the sake brewing process makes you feel the great taste of the rice in the front. Next time I'll try it lukewarm 😊!
