The cool label of this summer Kuroryu, inspired by the flow of the Kuzuryu River in early summer, is impressive. This Junmai Daiginjo is made from 50% polished Gohyakumangoku rice produced in Fukui Prefecture and carefully brewed. The refreshing and clean aroma that rises from the glass is reminiscent of citrus fruits. In the mouth, it is cool and refreshing, with a sharp acidity and a moderate sweetness. This is accented by a subtle bitterness that is felt softly afterward, The aftertaste is clear and light. The finish is clear and light, with a crisp finish that is perfect for drinking on a hot day. There is nothing flashy about it, but the careful construction and the quality of the ingredients can be felt straight away, It is a bottle that gives you a sense of refinement that is typical of Kuroryu. Both "Ginpu" (spring) and "Gohyakumangoku" (summer) have the refinement typical of Kuroryu, Both of them are elegant like Kuroryu, but their taste vectors are distinctly different. Ginkaze" has a soft and gentle impression reminiscent of spring. The slightly sweet, round and gentle taste continues gently. Gohyakumangoku, on the other hand, tastes fresh and smart. Its light citrus-like acidity and moderate bitterness are pleasant, and the aftertaste is sharp and tight.
