Kuno Kuheiji ‘Kurodasho Monryu’ 2021 750ml

2021 is the year when the four seasons were like four seasons, and the weather was in line with the favorable growth cycle of rice. One more step, although it is regrettable that there was little rain before harvesting, the yield and quality are both highly rated at 4 out of 5. In recent years, it is a vintage close to 2018, characterized by low flowering temperature and soft rice. The sake produced in this way has a voluminous taste, can be kept in good condition for a long time, and has aging potential of more than 5 years.

Appearance is a clear, transparent liquid with a hint of silver and a hint of green. From the glass, fresh lemon, grapefruit, green apple, dill, green herbs such as Annette, and nuances of lilies. When the glass is turned, the hard mineral scent rises more and gives the impression that it envelops the scent of fruits and herbs. The fresh and dignified acidity and the umami of fine rice are very powerful, forming a solid structure. A gentle bitterness balances the whole. The aftertaste of lemon peel and the minerality of fresh rice is also attractive. It is a taste that shows the high quality that gives you a sense of expectation that makes you feel further potential.
