From the Nate Sake Brewery in Wakayama Prefecture...
Kurogyu Junmai Sake Bespoke
This is a limited edition of the famous sake "Kurogyu" from Nate Sake Brewery in Wakayama Prefecture, brewed by Katsuhiko Okai, a toji from Shodoshima Island!
As the name suggests, this is a different version of Kurogyu's mainstay product, "Kurogyu Junmai-shu"!
The sake is aged and stored in the bottle at low temperature for more than half a year.
It has a mild aroma, and when you put it in your mouth, you can feel the mild mouthfeel and umami flavor from the good aging.
It has the stability and mildness of hi-ire and the good taste of nama-zake (o^^o)umma!
It has a beautiful sake quality and acidity that is typical of "Kurogyu", and the bitterness and astringency are also pleasant and well balanced, making it a perfect match for a mealtime sake.
It can be served cold or warmed up, personally I like it at room temperature or warmed up to around 45℃, and when the temperature drops a little while drinking it.
