About
"Kuro" is the flagship of Matsunotsukasa's regular lineup. It is made with Hyogo-grown Tojo Yamada Nishiki, a sake rice from Tojo (東条), a Special A district for sake rice cultivation, polished to 35%. Drawing on many years of accumulated ginjo brewing expertise, the brewery combines careful raw material handling, koji making, and delicate fermentation management of the moromi (fermentation mash) in small batches. Each step is carried out with great care, and the result is the high-class face of the Matsunotsukasa brand. It offers a gently floral ginjo aroma that is pleasing to the senses. Within its calm character, delicate layers of flavor create depth and fullness.
Shipped annually in late June.
