The somber black label with an English name is the perfect presentation for this ultra-dry brew. In fact, it is 3X drier than a normal Junmai. Don't let the label fool you. It is full of umami resulting in a distinctive aftertaste and sharpness that is unparalleled in the sake industry. Brewed by the Imayo Tsukasa Shuzo in the Niigata Prefecture is sharp and smooth and easily enjoyed.
