Kuroryu Junmai Daiginjyo Nanae Yoshi
In 2024, Kuroryu Shuzo celebrates 220 years in business.
To commemorate the 220th anniversary, three supreme bottles were brewed to express the three generations of "Kuroryu" from the Showa period to 2024.
The sixth generation built the foundation of the brewery as a ginjo brewery.
The seventh generation established the Kuroryu brand.
The eighth generation promoted further value creation of sake.
The three original bottles are silhouetted in the same black color, which is typical of Kuroryu.
The box features the "three claws" mark of Kuroryu, which is said to have been used since the days of the Mizuno Sake Brewery of Yoshitaro Mizuno VI, and the labels are decorated with the exorcism [harai] brush strokes that represent each era.
(The above is quoted from the special website commemorating the 220th anniversary of the brewing of Kuroryu Sake)
Today's sake is "Yoshi", a tribute to Mr. Masato Mizuno VII, who applied the wine aging techniques he learned in France to sake and pioneered the commercialization of daiginjo-shu.
It has a fresh, fresh aroma reminiscent of apples and pears, and a thick, sensual texture on the tongue. The elegant lingering aftertaste is made possible by the beautiful acidity, which lingers on the palate while the umami flavor is well defined.
