A rare treat for the adventurous, Kuro Kabuto is brewed using Black Koji instead of the usual Yellow Koji, contributing to a very unique and interesting flavor profile. The brewers forego the usual carbon filtration, allowing the natural qualities nurtured during brewing to remain, and send it straight to bottling for cold storage. It has a ripe strawberry field nose and a full body. Its flavor zips around the palate with a puckering, fruitlike acidity, refreshing the senses and engaging the mind.
Food Pairings: Chicken Teriyaki, Fried Oyster, Fish Tempura, Fatty Sashimi
Class: Junmai Daiginjo
Style: Muroka
Rice: Yamada Nishiki
Rice-Polishing Ratio: 50%
ABV: 15%
Size: 720ml
