Senjo" comes from Senjogadake, a mountain in the Southern Alps to the east of the brewery, and "Kuromatsu" comes from the name of the founder, Matsujiro Kurokouchi, and the illustration of the pine tree is said to be by Taro Kurokouchi, the fourth-generation brewer.
The grouse on the label is cute. ☺️
Drinking Moromi. Drink it as if you were chewing it, sometimes there are some hard lumps. It's quiet when you open it, but when you mix it, it turns into a foamy, squashy, yeast awakening. By the way, before I opened it, it was leaking out before I knew it. It's so thick that it clogs up the mouth and makes it hard to get out.
The aroma is like porridge or freshly cooked rice. The taste is like lemonade with grains.
My favorite type of sake is one with a rice polishing ratio of 50% or less and a negative sake degree.
This Senjo sake is a perfect match.
Mellow, sweet, and very mild.
Dried fish and cheese🧀 definitely go well with it!
Very elegant taste.
The intoxication is quite good.
Really delicious.
Today's second bottle
Shinshu's local sake - Junmai Daiginjo from Kuromatsusenkoso-san
Hiyashizake Natsu Tsubame
The aroma is sweet.
The taste is fruity and sweet!
Purchased at 2 discount. It was sweeter and more crisp when drunk after chilling in the refrigerator rather than cold (room temperature). The spiciness of the aftertaste is a bit strong.
7/10
Hiyoroshi sake from Kuromatsu Senjo.
The bear label is cute.
The hiyaoroshi sake has a calm impression, but it has a rather modern feel to it.
It has a muscat aroma with a mild flavor.
The brewery is located in Ina City, Nagano Prefecture.
There is an image of a rich natural atmosphere conveyed through the sake.
The label is very important.
Good evening, Southern Cross Shine 😃.
Oops ‼️ here's your 900 check-in ㊗️ congratulations 🎉!
You are a calm and modern bear 🐻.
It's true that the impression of the label is very important 🤗.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby: ☺️
Oh my, before I knew it, 900 check-ins 😳I always let them pile up, so I had to write quickly and it passed!
Thanks for noticing ☺️
Congratulations on your belated 900 check-in 🎉🎊, Southern Cross Shine!
I passed by the brewery in the summer (it was closed) and wondered what kind of sake they made 😊.
Next time, it's finally the big one!
Thank you, Pon-chan! I see you went to Ina. It's a nice place full of greenery. ☺️
I'm going to reach 4 digits soon before I know it. I'm going to reach it before the end of this year because I've been drinking out a lot😅.
Slightly sweet, tasty, acidic
Well balanced
It is not gorgeous.
I drank it with wakame salad, konnyaku kinpira, fried and soaked Manganji peppers, and curry doria.
Surprisingly there was curry doria😅
Manganji Togarashi was good too!

I was trying to do charcoal yakitori on the campfire grill I bought for camping that got cancelled last week, but I was too lazy and it got late 😅.
It will be Genghis Khan time now!
I bought a bottle of Kurosho Senjo because of the cute bear on the jacket!
It is a delicious sake with a round, umami flavor, moderate acidity, and a gentle sweet fruity taste!
I've never had a chance to try Kuromatsusenjo even though it's relatively close to the brewery, but there are so many delicious sake from the Nanshin area!
By the way, Shinshu also has a culture of Genghis Khan, but I eat it Hokkaido style!
Hi Gyaban 😃
I knew there is Jingisukan in Tono city, Iwate prefecture, but I'm curious to know if there is one in Shinshu too ❗Jingisukan and beautiful sake are abundant in Shinshu, a wonderful place 🎵Bell's Jingitare is delicious 😋.
Hi there, Mr. King of Noodles and Sake!
Tono is famous too 😀.
In Shinshu, I think Genghis Khan Road in Shinshu-Shinmachi is famous. Iida is also a town of grilled meat.
My hometown Suwa has a slightly unique culture of eating in a Yoshitsune pot.
Please come and enjoy Shinshu sake and Genghis Khan 😊.
I had never had a chance to try "Kurosho Senjo" although I had seen it at a local liquor store. I opened the bottle, attracted by the cute black bear.
The soft sweetness and umami in the first sip spread gradually. If you want to enjoy this sake in the coming fall, it would go well with fried mushrooms with butter, just like it is served in Shinshu.
The cute label of this bottle is very appealing and very satisfying. Delicious: ‼️
There was a sizzling sound when the bottle was opened. The top aroma is like strawberry cheesecake. When you drink it, it tastes like fresh strawberry juice, and the cloudiness rushes over your tongue like mashed strawberries. It tastes like strawberry jam. I thought it tasted like strawberry milk, but it is not. It tastes like strawberry juice and strawberry jam. It has a sweetness, but it is moderate, and it tastes as if strawberries were mashed as they are and made into a sour jam juice. Delicious. I didn't notice much of an overtone. It was delicious when drunk on its own. It would be good as a dessert sake.
My favorite!
Domestic rice, Tochiotome from Tochigi Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio? % of rice
Alcohol 4
Souvenir from a friend's trip to Nagano
A brand you don't see very often.
It's my first time to drink it.
Cold sake
Good ginjo aroma.
Smooth on the palate, with a slight mellow taste from the mid-palate.
The lingering finish is rather long with a touch of astringency.
