Easy to drink!
But not too light!
Amazing! Best balance!
Just the right amount of richness, just the right amount of acidity, just the right amount of dryness, just the right amount of sharpness.
The best balance!
A masterpiece from Wakayama.
It is not the best sake in my life, but it is an everyday sake that I drink with bonito sashimi while looking at my wife and son's faces.

It's been a while since I drank a black cow.
I ordered it while I was buying Kachi-yo with the free shipping coupon from Kagiya 👆.
I bought another bottle, but the one from that time was broken in transit and this one was sticky with alcohol 🥲.
I opened the bottle to drink it as soon as possible.
No aroma, little sweetness and sourness when cold.
Slightly gassy feeling from the raw sake.
Overall beautiful but a little hard 🤔.
It's black beef and it's cold sake.
The third day after opening the bottle, there is not much sweetness when it is cold.
As the temperature rises, umami and bitterness come out.
It has a beautiful but robust umami, and makes me want to eat oden with soup stock 🍢.
I didn't heat it up this time, but I think I'll have to go with heated sake for Kurogyu!
Good evening, tomo 😃.
Takachiyo and Kurogyu seem like two extremes 😅that's why they split up 😳.
I haven't tasted Kurogyu but I would like to have it with heated sake 🍶😚.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌃
You're right 😅they taste far apart🤣.
It was the "Yuki no Mayu" that cracked (it was in stock and arrived safely at a later date)
Black beef 🦬, it goes great with the broth 😋.
Home drinking.
Finally, it's a leisurely lunch only.
Today's drink is my first Kurogyu, a sake from Wakayama.
The aroma is not strong, just a hint of sweetness.
We served with bonito, dashimaki (Japanese soup stock), aji-nanban (fried horse mackerel), and lotus root kinpira (fried lotus root).
It has a light spiciness, acidity, and umami, and finishes with a touch of astringency.
It is a food sake. It is a delicious drink.
Good sake goes well with good fish, so I'm feasting alone again this evening.
This is the first time for me to try Kurogyu Midori Label. It is a robust sake made with Omachi, which is more like a buffalo than a bull. It has a punch! It also has a character that becomes docile when the temperature drops, and I thought it was a tsundere character that sake lovers would love. Tonight, too, I would like to express my gratitude for the encounter with this wonderful sake and offer a cup of sake!
