The 55% polishing junmai ginjo at 17% alcohol points to a structured base. The description's fresh acidity and sweetness balancing bitterness and astringency suggests restrained aroma, a moderately full body and gentle sweetness.

About

We feel that Kuroemon is gradually earning its place as the go-to sake of the sixteenth Kuroemon for our customers. The distinctive bitterness and astringency of Miyama Nishiki are brought together in a well-balanced way through refreshing acidity and sweetness. The raw rice has been switched to contract-grown rice, and quiet refinements have also been made behind the scenes.
