X3 Black Junmai Genshu Namazake
¥1,500Incl. VAT
Description
The abyss of black koji, an architecture of layered umami.
From the glass emanates a rich aroma reminiscent of bitter caramel and cacao. The dense extract from the triple koji brewing process dominates the palate, while the sharp acidity characteristic of black koji vividly tightens the whole. This creates a robust body, like a red wine, that transcends the conventional boundaries of sake.
