Normally, the rice used for the premium rice is Gohyakumangoku, but all Yamadanishiki is used, and only the best "Nakadori" of the pressing is bottled in this limited edition version!
It has a fresh and beautiful ginjo aroma.
The mouthfeel is soft, but the rich, juicy flavor and sweetness of the rice spreads.
It finishes with moderate acidity and astringency.
You can feel a sense of body that only Kurogyu can provide!
Purchased in Wakayama.
Smells like banana pineapple, tastes like melon 😂.
Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku combined! Absolutely my favorite type of sake, but I couldn't concentrate on drinking it with so many people and got drunk 😭
Omachi! The first time I saw this label.
It was at a liquor store back home, which had become a special distributor of Kurogyu.
Although it is my favorite brand, the last one I drank had a very strong image of Kurogyu.
This one has the same sake and alcohol content as indicated on the label, and I like it a lot because of its smooth taste with a clean aftertaste.
It's a bit on the thicker side, but it doesn't have a very dominant flavor on the palate, so it's balanced.
It's balanced, with a slight alcoholic taste in the mouth and a rice flavor, which is nice.
Kurogyu has not been drunk at home for a long time.
Looks like a raw version of the red labeled sake that was newly released rather recently.
It seems a little sweeter than the Junmai Ginjo Omachi we have had in the past. I think it is spicier than other sake made from Omachi. It has a strong umami and a strong acidity. It seems to be a pure Okayama sake. I thought it might not be my favorite type of sake, but it turned out to be an okay one.
Not the type of sake you want to drink aggressively though 🤔.
I prefer the standard Junmai Nakadori or Shiboritate.
I think it's sweeter than the freshly opened one, but it has a stronger smoky taste.
It is a very easy to drink sake. It is a little sweet, but still refreshing. It goes well with sashimi. It is a little bit relaxed and rolls around on the tongue.
Now the third drink. I remember drinking Kurogyu at Yonemura in Kanda. But I also had it at Cape. I don't have a good memory. I usually drink only Kido in Wakayama, but Kurogyu is also good. It was almost the last train, so we quickly left. I've had a breather, haven't I?
Is it a special version of black cattle?
Very well balanced sake.
It is not overly glamorous, which is common these days, but a very clean sake-like taste.
It tastes like expensive sake.
This ranks pretty high on my list of favorite sake.
