Matsu no Tsukasa, Junmai Daiginjo, Kuro (720ml)

松瀬酒造株式会社, 滋賀県

Tasting Note: Kuro, meaning "Black", is Matsuno tsukasa's flagship sake, made with Yamadanishiki rice from the Special A-rated old Tojo area of Hyogo Prefecture, milled to leave just 35％ of the grain.

The apex of a long tradition of ginjo-style brewing, this sake is lovingly made with careful processing of raw materials and cultivation of the essential mould koji, followed by brewing in small lots to allow fine control of fermentation.

Delicious floral aromas characteristic of ginjo-style brewing and delicate flavours build in layers over a clear base to provide depth and roundness.
