Kuroemon nigori sake. I often buy Kuroemon, but the nice name, coupled with the fact that I buy it soon after its release 🍶 On the other hand, the label is still a classic, for better or worse😅.
The top aroma is subdued.
It is nigori sake only, and has a generally stronger flavor than other brands. Since Kuroemon does not have a strong flavor to begin with, even nigori sake is not as powerful as other brands. The sweetness is moderate, and there is a bitter aftertaste.
For a Kuroemon, I thought it was a sake with a roughness that is typical of nama-shu. Yet it is still an easy-drinking sake😄.
I think that the brand name of the sake with a raw yeast or yamahai was more spectacular than nigori sake, so I personally prefer the latter.
