I told him that I was nervous that they might sell out because I knew they only had two in stock, but he said, "Oh no...it's a maniac genre and they still have some left...". Is that so? I was so excited.
I was very nervous, but he said, "No, no, no... it's a very popular genre of sake, so it's still around.
The aroma is softly banana, vanilla, and sweet floral. It also has a hint of cork, whey, raisins, and a lingering acidity and umami flavor that hits the throat.
I felt some bitterness when it was cold, so I preferred it at room temperature. When warmed up, the roundness and richness are more pronounced 😚.
Sake degree +7
Acidity 2.3
Good evening, Matsuchiyo-san 🐥.
I like freshly squeezed sake, but I also like to enjoy it while exploring its complex aroma 🤭.
I'm impatient to revisit the Sentori Retro's predecessor ⁈Classic Sentori while it's still in the store 😅.
☀️
I went to an event called "Cornerstone Fest 2025." I forgot to take pictures of the venue, so the only pictures I have are of the bottles😅.
I'm sorry I can't convey the atmosphere of the venue 😭
First of all, here are Kuroemon's Normal and Nigori.
Normal.
Moist and peachy sweetness 🍑.
And it goes down your throat nicely.
Nigori
The rice is nigori, and you can see the rice (🌾).
It is also sweet. It has a slightly bitter aftertaste.
Good evening, Hiro!
Kaku-uchi festival! Sounds like fun 🍶👍Kuroemon is delicious 😋I haven't had nigori yet, so I'd like to have it sometime 😆 I've never been to a ❣️ event, so I'm very interested in the event too 😆.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃.
Both Kuroemon's were equally delicious ☺️
I recommend holding the event indoors as it is not affected by the weather: ❗️ Please go with your husband 🤗
Sake from Kiso Yabuhara, Shinshu. Junmai Ginjo-shu made from Hitogokochi sake rice grown in Shinshu. The acidity and sweetness make it easy to drink. You will drink too much.
Jyugodai Kuroemon Junmai Ginjo Hitogochi Nigori Nama Shu Snow Woman 720ml
Rice: 100% Hitogochi
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol content: 15%.
Well, opening the bottle was a big mistake! The first time we loosened and closed the bottle, it blew out and the sake seeped out, loosening the stopper and making it impossible to open the bottle 😭.
I had no choice but to use a wine opener to destroy the cork and open the bottle. It was closed with a bamboo leaf stopper.
The wine is delicious, with a fine, chilled taste. Last year I had the impression that it was quite dry, but this year I think it's a little sweeter.
But Snow Woman is lovely 😆.
My reflection this time is to be on guard and be prepared to cure the bowl.
I have not had a drink in a long time 🍶 since my abstinence from alcohol due to the effects of mycoplasma pneumonia has gotten a little better.
Enjoying the gorgeous sweet aroma, the unique spiciness of the sake is pleasant. The Miyamanishiki flavor and good acidity were perfectly balanced and delicious ✨.
I'd like to add some alcohol disinfection treatment to my body from now on👍

Preferred ☆☆☆☆✰´-
The catchphrase is "Mild sweetness, kyun kyun."
is the catchphrase
I bought a brand that had been talked about a lot.
Gentle sweetness with a sense of raw sake
Soft and fluffy rice flavor that passes through the nose
It was a great taste with a crisp and gentle aftertaste ✨.
CWS, I was going to buy this kouhashi, but I picked up yamahai by mistake🤗.
I was going to buy this one, but I picked up a Yamahai by mistake 🤗 The year of production is November 21, and it seems that it was sold as koshu after being aged for a year, so it must be about 3 years old? I am not sure.
It has a firm sweet and sour taste with a subdued aroma reminiscent of banana, quince, and apricot, a graininess, and a flavor that strangely resembles the barrel and cork aromas of Western-style sake 😌.
Sake degree +10
Acidity 2.5
Good evening, Pon-chan 🐥.
CWS is very casual in dress and taste~? Is it an old sake in Kuroemon? 😳 so I welcomed you 🤭It's a fun liquor store with many items not featured on the store's e-commerce site🤗.
Our first brewery, Kuroemon XVI has just opened 🎉.
What an old-fashioned name with a modern design that makes it very familiar: ☺️
I bought this tasteful and delicious ✌️
The brewery is in Kiso, Nagano prefecture and the rice is 100% Nagano Hitogochi🌾.
Now let's have it right away 🥂!
The aroma is of fresh apples 🍎!
In the mouth, the fresh apple-like sweetness spreads again, and in the latter half, the refreshing acidity spreads as well.
There is no unpleasant pungency or bitterness.
The slight gasiness and acidity combine to give it a sharp finish.
The sweetness and acidity of the apples are well balanced throughout.
You can also taste the rice flavor in it 🌾.
Very easy to drink and delicious 😋.
The balance is perfect😍.
This is awesome ‼️
My husband says it's so shockingly delicious that it tastes just like Jyushidai ⁉️
I've only had one cup of Jyushidai in the past...💦 my mind said😅.
But... it's true... it might be as impressive as when I drank Jyushiro 🧐.
So, with that said,
In our house, we have certified this 💁♀️ Kuroemon as a sake as good as Jyushiyo 🙌
Please give it a try 🥰.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama!
Hmmm? HinaHanaMama also drinks sake like this 🍶⁉️
I thought so, but then I saw your review and I'm convinced 😊.
I can't believe it's as good as Jyushiyo...
I'll have to drink it 😳‼️ and look for it💦.
Hina Hana Mama
Good morning!
I'm glad to hear that the taste was hard to imagine from the name 🤩I'm so happy to meet you that I'm going to pick up my first brand 🤣But I've become more conservative lately 😅...
Good morning, HinaHanaMama!
Despite the retro look of the label, it is a sake with apple-like sweetness and refreshing acidity - the review is too good to be true 🤤.
It's a wonderful sake activity to explore new things 😊.
Good morning, Hina Hana Mama 😄.
I could feel the shock and excitement when I drank it: ❗️
It's going to be an unforgettable sake 😆.
I love the "sweet and fluffy, schwarma" on the back compared to the label on the front 🤗.
Hi Muro, thanks for your comment 😃I was surprised at the gap from the hard image of not being sweet 😆But, I'm not sure if it's the same as the taste of Jyushiyo ‼️, so please check it out Muro 🙇♀️
Hi Nao888😃Thank you for your comment...Gold Award! I didn't know that 😅I didn't know that due to my lack of study, but it might be a convincing brewery 😆It might be easier to get than Jyushidai, so please look for it: ❣️
Hi Kozo, 😃Thank you for your comment 😃You're right, buying your first brand might take courage 😆 if it fails 💦 so I'm basically conservative too 🥰 but sometimes I want to be adventurous and expand my world 🤣.
Hi Hiro-san, Hi 😃Thank you for your comment 👍I'm glad you noticed 👍The label on the back is loose 😆But it really was 🍎squash, sweet and delicious 😋Please understand that it's our Jyushiro 🥰.
Hi HinaHanaMama 🐦 Congratulations on your first Kuroemon!
Congratulations on your first Kuroemon 🎉I had the exact same one for the first time the year before last and it's delicious 😊I haven't had it at home for a long time so seeing it made me want to drink it 😊.
Hi HinaHanaMama 😃😃
Congratulations on your first 16th generation Kuroemon ㊗️ 🎉 We had a different one about 3 years ago and it was so good we were blown away by it 💘
It's a 14yo + 2yo, that's why it's so good 😆.
Good evening, Pon-chan😄Thanks for your comment... I went back and looked at Pon-chan's review from the year before last: ‼️ The flavor may have changed somehow, but it looked pretty good the year before last too😍.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😄I'd like to try a different version, too 🥰If it's delicious enough to stick with you both...
I mean, 14yo + 2yo would make it taste even better than 14yo: ⁉️
That might be an exaggeration 🤣.
HinaHanaMama🩷Congratulations on your first Kuroemon🎉‼️
We too are Kuroemon favorites and have had the Yamahai and the Summer Sake so far. Both were delicious 🥰and we've been warming (chilling?) a bottle of kijoshu. I'll be sure to check it out 😆.
HinaHanaMama, congratulations on your first Kuroemon 🍶🎉!
It's a certified delicious sake in our house 🎵😃😃.
By the way, Jyushidai is a certified sake I'd like to drink someday 😅.
Good evening, Pekho 😄Thanks for your comment 😋Kuroemon is delicious 😋I'd like to try some of their various drinks 🥰I see they also have kijo sake ‼️ that must be absolutely delicious 👌Kuroemon, you are on the level 💕!
Good evening, shinsaku3😄Thank you for your comment.............................................I see that you already certified it as a delicious sake. ❣️😍My family is on the same level as Jyushidai 😆 It's totally different! I know you might be thinking 🤣...
