MASUMI KURO BLACK

KURO is named for the lustrous black finish of Japanese lacquerware. The sake starts with delicate aromas of apple and banana, then strikes a balance of savory depth and dry clarity that brings out the best in the food before leaving the palate clean and fresh. Kuro sake is a junmai ginjo made from yamada nishiki and sankei nishiki rice varieties, polished 55%. Kuro sake pairs with shellfish, dark meat, and green vegetables—especially those with astringency, like asparagus, artichokes, or rucola.
