Kuroryu Junmai Daiginjyo Nanae Yoshi
In 2024, Kuroryu Shuzo celebrates 220 years in business.
To commemorate the 220th anniversary, three supreme bottles were brewed to express the three generations of "Kuroryu" from the Showa period to 2024.
The sixth generation built the foundation of the brewery as a ginjo brewery.
The seventh generation established the Kuroryu brand.
The eighth generation promoted further value creation of sake.
The three original bottles are silhouetted in the same black color, which is typical of Kuroryu.
The box features the "three claws" mark of Kuroryu, which is said to have been used since the days of the Mizuno Sake Brewery of Yoshitaro Mizuno VI, and the labels are decorated with the exorcism [harai] brush strokes that represent each era.
(The above is quoted from the special website commemorating the 220th anniversary of the brewing of Kuroryu Sake)
Today's sake is "Yoshi", a tribute to Mr. Masato Mizuno VII, who applied the wine aging techniques he learned in France to sake and pioneered the commercialization of daiginjo-shu.
It has a fresh, fresh aroma reminiscent of apples and pears, and a thick, sensual texture on the tongue. The elegant lingering aftertaste is made possible by the beautiful acidity, which lingers on the palate while the umami flavor is well defined.
Ripe melon and pineapple.
Aromatic, quite banana-shake-like on the palate.
It has a Western wine-like quality.
Rich mouthfeel, though,
It is slim and not full for a noble sake,
The pull is clear and smooth.
It is unquestionably delicious.
It goes well with chocolate, a leftover from Valentine's Day.
When combined with chocolate, the sake has a sour taste,
cacao brings out the aroma.
Taste 4.5/5
Good evening, Penguin Blue.
I also drank it before. I remember the image of it was like rum raisin and it inspired me to try other kijo sake as well. I also recommend Hiran ♾️ and cheesecake😄.
The flavor is packed with a lot of flavor, and comes with a thump.
I am not sure if this is right, but it is interesting that it is so different from Gohyakumangoku.
Those who prefer a deep flavor may like this one.
It is a bit dark and mellow, but the mouthfeel is easy to drink.
The deep umami spreads greatly, and it is like a ray of clear water in a vast wilderness. ..... ^ ^
