Wine Advocate, 91 Points 

“The Kenbishi NV Kuromatsu has savory and well-integrated aromas of steamed rice, shiitake soup stock, caramel and aged cheese. Layers sweet spice and savory umami are chased by vivid acidity. It has a long finish with spicy flavors and backbone, a classic sinewy-structured style.” 

Tasting Notes: 

"Founded in 1505, Kenbishi’s iconic diamond logo can be seen in 16th-century illustrations of samurai drinking sake from a barrel for courage before battle. This old school sake is deep, rich, bursting with umami, sweetness and acidity. Pairs beautifully with oysters, sea urchin, tempura and even dry-aged steak. Serve chilled, room-temp, or warm." 

Alcohol: 17%
