Ibi Black 720ML

Ibi Black 720ml (射美 BLACK) is a compelling and innovative sake from Sugihara Shuzō (杉原酒造) in Gifu Prefecture, made from "Ibi‐no‐Homare" rice with an unusually low polishing ratio of 80%, preserving a rich grain character. This unfiltered, undiluted raw sake is aged in charred oak barrels for about a year, imparting a complex smoky and peaty profile reminiscent of fine whisky.

• Aroma: Warm notes of vanilla, dried fruit, and subtle oak spice.

• Palate: Rich, layered, and full-bodied—flavors of toasty oak, peat, and matured fruit.

• Finish: Long, smoky, and satisfying, with a gentle umami warmth.

This 720 ml bottle of raw barrel-aged sake is perfect alongside fatty grilled meats, robust stews, or as a contemplative sipper on its own. A rare and bold expression showing traditional craftsmanship fused with modern adventurous spirit.
