Hououmida Kuroban Junmai Daiginjyo Genshu Bottle Heated and Fire-aged" by Kobayashi Shuzo
The brewery, Kobayashi Shuzo, was founded in 1872. The sake was named after the brewery's location in Mitamura, an area of high quality rice production. The brewery uses water from the Nikko mountain range as its brewing water, and koji is made under strict temperature control in a five-layered koji room. The rice is steamed in a traditional Japanese kettle and carefully pressed in either a bag-hanging or Sase-style sake tank. All of the sake produced, including the base liqueur, is ginjo-style, with a gorgeous ginjo aroma, a strong sweetness, and a complex flavor that spreads over the palate in a well-balanced manner. It is now one of the most popular brands in Japan, and is very difficult to obtain.
Hououmida Kurobana" has been reissued with the hope that it will brightly light up your days. The high quality Yamada-Nishiki rice is polished to 45% and each drop of Junmai Daiginjo-genshu is carefully squeezed before being bottled and heated. It is finished with a pleasant ginjo aroma, gentle texture, and a soothing depth of flavor.
