Maruo Honten was founded in 1885 in Kotohira, Kagawa prefecture. The current Kuramoto (brewery owner) is Maruo Tadaoki who has been owner & Toji (Master Brewer) since 1999. Maruo-san's focus is on rice. He never blends rice from different growers and works the Moto (starter) and Moromi (main fermentation) to reflect the uniqueness in each batch of rice from each grower.
Black Market Sake has aged this bottle since its release in 2015. This sake show great depth with a delicate spiced aroma intermingled with honey and toffee. The palate is medium bodied with a velvety texture, exotically spiced and impeccably balance. The finish is long with a gentle warmth - a stunning sake!
