Kurosawa “Premium Reserve”
Nagano prefecture
Brewed as a celebration
Specially brewed in 2007 to honor the 10th Anniversary of Kurosawa Sake's introduction to the U.S, this sake continues on the brewery’s custom of crafting unique sake. A curious buttery undertone rounds out delicate, almost rice-pudding flavor. The effect is accented with a fruitier finish. Even 8 years after it's introduction, the Premium Reserve continues to be a crowd pleaser, and won a gold medal at the 2015 BTI World Wine Championship.
