A jet-black surprise, an experience that "changes the concept of sake" woven by the magic of acidity.

As its name "BLACK SWAN" suggests, this is a truly unique sake that lavishly uses black koji to pursue a vivid "acidity" that overturns the conventional wisdom of sake. One sip unleashes a citrusy acidity reminiscent of lemon and grapefruit, delivering a shock that makes you question if it's truly made from rice.

Yet, the exquisite balance with a gentle sweetness derived from rice following afterward perfectly embodies the fun of modern sake. This masterpiece, packed with the free and creative "Shirosugi Shuzo essence," is a must-try not only for sake lovers but also for those who usually prefer wine.
