More tasting info

Nakagawa Brewing Company’s flagship “futsushu” (table sake) is a local Niigata favorite. “Kuromatsu” is a name they retained before the current sake classification system. Like its name, this sake is classic. Dry and versatile, drink it at various temperatures and it will elevate any meal. It has a 60% RPR — above the call of duty for a futsushu — but that’s how much they care about taste!
