drink cold Clear and colorless Weak ginjo aroma Hard and rich on the palate, with a dryness that appears later. The taste is quick and refreshing, but leaves a dry, frizzy feeling in the mouth. I have the impression that the flavor will expand dramatically if it is heated.

Purchased at a liquor store near Chidori Station Wrapped in newspaper after purchase and stored at room temperature in a dark place at home for one year to mature (Immediately after opening the bottle) Slightly yellow in color. The aroma has a pronounced aged aroma. Mellow and rich taste derived from the aging process in the mouth. The taste is immediately sharp. The dryness is almost imperceptible. When heated lukewarm, the aroma of maturity increases and the taste becomes more peculiar, so it is not good. When heated, the flavor becomes bland. It goes better with salty meat dishes such as ham than sashimi or simmered dishes. When compared to the other two Kuroyûs, it has a noticeable quirkiness, but when considered as a stand-alone sake, it tastes similar to hiyaoroshi, which is not a bad thing. Compared to the Aki-agari, it shows how difficult it is to properly mature sake.

Purchased at a liquor store near Chidori Station Sake brewery aged sake the right way (just after opening the bottle) Strong ginjo aroma with fruity notes. Sake has a robust flavor on the palate. The fruity flavor comes later, but the taste quickly quiets down. When warmed to lukewarm, it has a stronger aroma and full-bodied flavor than regular Kuroryu. It is also delicious as a heated sake. When compared to sake that has been aged for a year at home, it is clear that the sake brewery has the skill and experience to age their sake well.

They say it is only available at the brewery in Oita. Drink cold The aroma is mild. Slightly cloudy white It has a delicious mellow sweetness in the mouth. Even though it is unfiltered raw sake, it has an elegant impression with no cloying taste. It is not dry, and although it is rich, it is very easy to drink and you can't stop drinking it.

Slightly dry aftertaste. The taste lingers in the mouth for a while. Because of its peculiar taste, it can be served with a variety of foods.

Izakaya near Kashii Station Slightly chilled The aroma is mild. The palate is full-bodied with a dry, frizzy taste. The taste quickly becomes sharp, but a slight dryness remains in the aftertaste. Sake by itself is rather bland, but when served with fish stewed in motsu (pork belly) or sashimi, it removes the fishy smell and enhances the flavor very much. More than Goryo When warmed up, it has a very light flavor.

Izakaya near Hakozaki Station drink cold sake Clear and colorless Mild aroma The richness in the mouth is delicious. The dryness and complexity of the flavor appear later. The taste does not last long and finishes early. Pair it with beef tataki, boiled shellfish, etc., but the pairing is not very good. The taste of the sake is definitely delicious, but its strong taste may limit the suitable accompaniments.

Izakaya near Hakozaki Station drink cold sake Clear and colorless Delicious in the mouth, with a slightly broad, mellow, full-bodied flavor. The dryness appears after a while. The taste does not last long, but there is a sweet aftertaste. It is interesting to drink with boiled shellfish or sesame mackerel, as it seems to enhance the taste of the sake rather than the snacks.

It has a sharp taste, but it is very refreshing with little dryness. When paired with ponzu salad of albacore, it enhances the flavor of the side dish without a fishy smell. It is delicious even if you drink only sake.

Izakaya near Grape Tree Drink cold sake Slightly cloudy white On the palate, it has a firm body with a dryness. The dryness lingers for a little while, but soon the flavor is completely resolved. When paired with sashimi, it enhances the flavor of the snacks and goes very well with them. The dryness is more noticeable when served warm, so I prefer it cold.

Purchased at a liquor store near Tosu Station (Just after opening the bottle) Drink cold Clear and colorless Gentle ginjo aroma Very mellow flavor in the mouth Sweetness without stickiness Refreshing with a slight acidity in the aftertaste. The taste is full of umami and very tasty. The taste is not overpowered by the strong flavor of chicken tataki, but it does not interfere with the flavor of the accompaniments either. It is a versatile sake that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with snacks. Hot sake The ginjo aroma lingers behind the twangy smell of alcohol. The taste is a bit muted, but the umami is still there. When heated, the umami is slightly reduced and the taste is light. It tastes better cold.
