This is Kurosawa Sake Brewery, which is becoming my favorite. It is made entirely(???) The sake is made from the same sake yeast as the one used to make it, which gives the impression of a strong yet soft sake. This is a PB from Kawagoe Kadoya Sake Brewery. I went there at the end of summer and it was the last bottle! I'm so glad I got it!
In a word, "Low alcohol boom, what are you doing?
This is the first time I've had a Kurosawa with a rice polishing ratio higher than Junmai Ginjo. When I smelled it, the gentle ginjo aroma was very just right for me. I like this level of aroma because it is the most elegant.
It has a vigorous and powerful aroma, and together with the alcohol content of 17%, it is a strong sake that is typical of Kurosawa. The freshness of the sake, which is typical of the tankoba-zume process, gives it an energetic mouthfeel. The tangy texture on the tongue is delicious.
This sake is amazing because it is more than just powerful. It is a sweet sake, but the sweetness assists the umami and is a part of the whole package, so it is not too sweet and can be used as a food sake.
The overall mildness and balance of this distinctive yet well-balanced sake is wonderful!
Kurosawa is a powerful sake that defies the low alcohol boom and is extremely tasty, so keep checking back!
