Tasting Notes

A favorite among Kuheiji enthusiasts for its lifted aromatics and refined clarity. Kurodasho “Tako” opens with vibrant aromas of white peach, pear, and citrus zest, leading into refreshing hints of lemon verbena. As it aerates, layered notes of gentle smokiness and soft Camembert-like creaminess appear, adding texture and intrigue. On the palate, smooth acidity spreads evenly, supported by balanced umami and a touch of pleasant bitterness that extends into a clean, graceful finish.

Note: This bottle comes with a wine-style cork and requires a bottle opener.

The "Grand Cru" of Black Paddy: In Kurodasho, Tako is a specific hillside plot known for its exceptional sun exposure. Kuheiji practices "Domaine" brewing here—meaning they grow their own rice and brew it on-site. This "Tako" release captures the pure essence of the land, offering a structured minerality and elegance similar to a fine White Burgundy.

Overview

Best enjoyed well-chilled to enhance its lifted aromatics and bright, mineral-driven structure. The supple texture and nuanced acidity pair naturally with dishes that combine richness and subtle savoriness. Most harmonious with foie gras, creamy risotto, and firm cheeses, where the sake’s refreshing clarity cuts through richness while its delicate fruit complements the dish.
