In the mood for a relaxing drink alone, I went shopping to Yamanaka Sake Shop.
I drank Kurogyu for the first time in a very long time. It has a melon-like aroma and a high alcohol content of 18-19%.
The rice is Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku. Association No. 9 yeast. This yeast is definitely delicious.
Delicious...
It is sweet and fruity, with a hint of sourness, so it's not too strong.
The alcohol content is a moderate 15%, so you can enjoy it as much as you want.

Kurogyu, which I don't drink much these days
I drank
Kurogyu Junmai Daiginjo
Polishing ratio 38% Yamadanishiki 16.5 degrees Sake degree +1.5 Acidity 1.3
Amino acidity 0.7 5200 yen
It is a little gorgeous and not like Kurogyu, but it is interesting because it is a different type from usual. The taste towards the latter half of the bottle has a unique atmosphere that is typical of Kurogyu.
Kurogyu Junmai Ginjo
Polishing ratio 50%, Yamadanishiki 16-17%, Sake degree +4.0, Acidity 1.5

This one is also gorgeous and has a sweet taste for a sake degree of +4.0.
I personally preferred it to the Daiginjo.
I've always wanted to try a black cow 🐃.
I imagined it would have a classical taste 🤔.
When I opened it, the aroma was quite fruity ❗️
The taste is strong with Omachi-like sweetness and dark umami ❗️
The aftertaste is a little bitter and refreshing.
There's a tingling sensation in the throat.
It's a dry type 😊.
It's not sweet and sour and juicy like today's wines.
I like it a lot 😃.

Scoring: ☆☆☆☆
Black Cow Standard Junmai: ❣️
Soft rice 🌾 aroma 😆.
Complex flavor on the tongue. It has a solid structure like a man's sake, but it is surprisingly easy to drink 😋.
It finishes with a moderate acidity that is a bit like yogurt, and in contrast to the strong umami, it has a refreshing aftertaste 🎶.
Unfiltered Nakadori
unpasteurized sake
The aroma is not strong, but it has acidity and sweetness, and the taste is very heavy but does not linger.
You can taste the umami.
It has a sharp taste when it goes down your throat, but you don't feel the strength of the alcohol.
There is a popping sound when you open the cork, but there is no sizzling feeling.
It is easy to drink and I quite like the taste.
