Kuroushi Junmai Ginjo Omachi (720ml) 黒牛 純米吟醸 雄町

$68.00

The rich and savoury character of Omachi rice is vibrant, an impressive attack on entry, followed by hints of plum and persimmon on the mid palate. The richness gently dissipates ending with a very refreshing citrus acidity.

Nate Shuzo's mineral rich brewing water interacts wonderfully with the bold expression of Omachi rice, producing a gloriously umami filled richness of flavour.

Nate Shuzo 名手酒造

Since the beginning of the Ginjo craze in the 1980’s, Nate Shuzo has maintained a strong focus on small batch, quality brewing in line with the demand for high quality, hand crafted sake. The backbone of Kuroushi Sake is its exceptional and sacred water, drawn from the well of the Nakagoto Shrine just 100 meters from the brewery. The mineral content of this soft water is ideally suited for strong fermentation and results in sake high in umami amino acids. Also important to the quality of the Kuroushi sake brand is its commitment to contract rice farming to ensure its ability to brew with high grade Yamadanishiki sake rice, sourced from the most famous rice growing areas in Japan.
