HIROKI JUMAI GINJO NAMAZUME BLACK LABEL 飛露喜 純米吟醸 黒ラベル 720ml

Brewed by Hiroki Shuzo (廣木酒造本店) in Aizu, Fukushima Prefecture, Hiroki Junmai Ginjo Namazume Black Label (飛露喜 純米吟醸 黒ラベル) is one of Japan’s most sought-after sakes, beloved for its perfect harmony of freshness, purity, and depth.

The “Namazume” (生詰) style means this sake is pasteurised only once — preserving the vivid aroma and vibrant mouthfeel of a nama while maintaining stability. Expect graceful aromas of white peach, pear, and rice blossom, leading to a silky texture with elegant sweetness and lingering umami. Smooth, precise, and deeply expressive, it captures why Hiroki remains an icon among modern brewers.
