The nose on this exact same sake as the "Red Snapper" except it hasn’t been charcoal filtered (no not Nigori) has a robust collection of sea spray, finger lime, apple, grape, citrus, cranberry, mochi, corn flakes, marzipan, toast, nutritional yeast, and apple vinegar aromas. Welcome back, Narutotai Black! Your fans have been waiting a year to drink up
your power and sake wonder. This is a very dry version of the Red Snapper and it is beefy at 19% ABV, but it is still unpasteurized and very flavorful and fun. Round, rich, full-bodied, velvety, fat, chewy and lush, this sake drinks you as much as you drink it. Look for an array of dry flavors including coco nib, peanut butter, root beer, dark chocolate, sweet mochi, creamy cantaloupe, daikon, and peanut brittle with a long peanuty finish. Sounds like a mouthful, and it is a mouthful, and that’s exactly why this can is so popular. WORD: Big WINE: Immense Reds/Full-Bodied Whites BEER: Guiness FOODS: Everything you think sake wouldn’t pair with, buffalo wings, tacos, curries, international spice, fried everything, burgers, chops, and wild boar.

The nose on this seasonally released unpasteurized powerhouse brew is a cool collection of grape, melon, pineapple, mineral water, cotton, mint, and grape popsicle aromas. This can looks familiar right? It’s built exactly like the Red Snapper but the only difference is this black can has not been charcoal filtered and the taste is surprisingly different for such a subtle difference. Silky, clean, chewy, and with a medium body this is bold sake with tingly shibumi and an overall dry complexity and finish. Look for grape, Fuji apple, pear, mineral water, rock sugar, sliced white bread, and grape popsicle flavors that roll through the palate on a fluid that is weighty but light. If you like the Red Snapper you should give the Black Snapper a try. And how cool is that can? WORD: Big WINE: Rich Reds/Strong Whites BEER: Stouts FOODS: International spice, street fare, beach fare, tacos to pizza to salad. (2024)
