Kurogyu has not been drunk at home for a long time.
Looks like a raw version of the red labeled sake that was newly released rather recently.
It seems a little sweeter than the Junmai Ginjo Omachi we have had in the past. I think it is spicier than other sake made from Omachi. It has a strong umami and a strong acidity. It seems to be a pure Okayama sake. I thought it might not be my favorite type of sake, but it turned out to be an okay one.
Not the type of sake you want to drink aggressively though 🤔.
I prefer the standard Junmai Nakadori or Shiboritate.
I think it's sweeter than the freshly opened one, but it has a stronger smoky taste.
