Kuro-obi's Selected Brands
KURO-OBI'S SELECTED BRANDS![]() KURO-OI Yu-Yu This is a sake championed by the traditional ryotei restaurants and gourmets of Kanazawa. Made from a mix of Yamada Nishiki and Kinmon Nishiki rice, Fukumitsuya has achieved a delicate balance between the flavour of the rice, crispness, rich tones and elegance. Because it has been matured for two years in the brewery, this sake has a mellow flavour and fragrance. It is particularly well-suited to serving as atsukan, and is ideally drunk gently heated. This is a sake to be enjoyed with food, and goes perfectly with Japanese cuisine. Type: Tokubetsu Junmaishu Capacity: 180ml, 300ml, 720ml, 1800ml Taste: Rich & Medium Dry Seimaibuai: 68.0% Alcohol percentage: 15.3% Sake meter value: +5.5 Acidity: 1.54
KAGATOBI'S SELECTED BRAND![]() KAGATOBI Junmai Daiginjo Ai Strictly selecting only the finest of the Fukumitsuya brewery's specially-grown Yamada Nishiki high-grade sake rice, this daiginjoshu has been brewed to have a particularly powerful fragrance and a sharp, clean edge.

MOMOTOSE'S SELECTED BRAND![]() MOMOTOSE Junen A junmaishu which has been allowed to mature for ten years, this has a rich, deep taste which sets it apart from run-of-the-mill sake. There is a delicate harmony achieved in the fine balance between its spicy aroma, slight crispness and bitter edge. A new kind of sake, Momotose Junen can be drunk along with foods which are not commonly thought of as going well with sake, for instance cheese, chocolate and Chinese cuisine. Extremely good when drunk warm, the taste lingers in the drinker's mouth. Type: Junmaishu Capacity: 500ml Taste: Very Rich & Very Sweet Seimaibuai: 65.0%
