Yamamoto's standard "Pure Black" sake is brewed with Kame-no-o. Kame-no-o is the tallest rice in Japan at 150 cm in height and is said to be the most difficult to grow in Japan. On the other hand, it is also said to be prone to producing a cloying taste when used for sake brewing, so we take great care to understand the original characteristics of the rice and make the most of Kame-no-o's unique qualities.
Particular care is taken in koji making, and by suppressing amino acids, the acidity that is synonymous with Yamamoto is brought out, expressing a juicy and crisp flavor. It is refreshing on the palate, but at the same time, the flavor and aroma of the rice derived from Kame-no-o can be fully captured in this bottle.
Let's drink this... ♪
Because it's crowded at Sake-no-wa
Much drier than Sugiyuu.
I still prefer this one 🫶.
It's also mentioned for its sharpness, but it's a relatively easy-drinking genre 🍶.
So many choices for this day!
Now, I'm torn 😕

This is a copy of Jay & Nobby's 😄.
I couldn't find the Dokidoki, but I bought the pure black.
It's so amazeballs! I thought it was going to be citrusy and gorgeously sharp.
It is sharp like Yamamoto-kun's!
After refrigeration, I felt a little gassy.
I feel like there is more contrast in flavor at room temperature ✨.
Space in the fridge is limited, so I drank it, looked at the condition, tried serving it at room temperature, chilled it, drank it up, and went radivandari.
I'm like Director Roberts in charge of the drinking 🤗.
Good evening, Nanka Yokai 😃!
Oh...Yamamoro! Yamamoro, right? ‼️ I'm sure you'll have a lot of lingering memories 😌Hug the bottle when you're done, just like Roberts 😄.
I hadn't had this brand in a whopping 2 years. I thought I had been drinking more.
Also, I guess I didn't pick this sake up very often because it is so hit-or-miss, or my tastes vary. This time, I was attracted by the black bottle with gold letters, so I bought it.
As mentioned on the bottle label, the ginjo aroma is restrained and the color is more yellowish than I expected.
Rolling it around in the mouth, it has a very citrusy aroma. Then, the piquancy. After a pause, a grapefruit-like bitterness and sourness comes in. The end of the palate has a pungent taste, and it is quite varied. I had the impression that it would be drinkable with a longer aftertaste than I had expected.
However, the citrus aroma is not to my liking, so I don't think I will repeat the experience.
After all, Yamamoto is difficult to find.

Light drinking
A delicious, refreshing sake with just the right amount of acidity and not too sweet.
Freshness, with a slight fizziness or not.
Is there a hint of sweetness at the end? I don't know. It is a delicious sake.
