Nate Shuzoten
Kuroushi Junmai Ginjo Omachi
Wakayama, Japan
Kuroushi (黒牛) Junmai Ginjo Omachi
Brewery: Nate Shuzoten, Kainan, Wakayama, Japan
Classification: Junmai Ginjo
Rice: Omachi 100%
Polishing: 50%
ABV: 16.5%
SMV: +4
Acidity: 1.7
Brewer description: A rich expression of Omachi with depth and substantial rice umami, balanced by acidity and a clean finish. The Omachi gives the sake more breadth and weight while retaining the brewery’s food-oriented style.
Tasted at Sake Day SF — 9/26/2026. Rating is limited since the same glass was reused throughout the tasting, making it difficult to get a truly clean tasting and accurate read on the aromas.
Okay and drinkable, but not restaurant quality for me.
