Kurogyu Junmai Ginjo Omachi
The label depicts not only the word "Kurogyu" but also a ferocious black bull, and uses 100% Omachi sake rice produced in Okayama Prefecture!
The ginjo aroma is mild and citrusy, and the mouthfeel is smooth.
In the mouth, you get the impression of a sharp, dry taste, but you can also taste the fruity, full rice flavor that is typical of Omachi.
The overall balance is also good with a pleasantly lingering aftertaste, and the acidity that is typical of "Kurogyu" gives it a nice crispness.
It is recommended as a food wine. It goes well with a wide range of dishes such as crispy chilled Japanese food, dishes with a strong flavor using soy sauce or thick sauce at room temperature to lukewarm, and Western food with cheese... Holy shit!
