Tasting Notes

Brewed by Nate Shuzo in Wakayama Prefecture, Kuroushi Hiougi is an elegant Junmai Daiginjo that captivates with warm aromas of tropical fruits, accented by a gentle sweetness and vibrant acidity. Crafted from highly polished rice (28% remaining), it offers a smooth, velvety mouthfeel, while layers of refined umami unfold gracefully on the palate. The balance between fruitiness, acidity, and umami creates a delicate yet memorable finish that embodies the brewery’s refined style.

Kuroushi Hiougi is a masterful expression of Nate Shuzoten’s craftsmanship, offering tropical fruit aromas, silky texture, and a refined balance of umami and acidity, an elegant Junmai Daiginjo that leaves a lasting impression.
