Product details
Black Rumiko Junmai is an inventive creation from Moriki Shuzo, blending traditional Japanese rice brewing with the bold character of locally roasted coffee. Named “Black” in homage to black coffee, this distinctive release begins with Moriki’s pure rice-based brew, which is infused for six weeks with high-quality whole coffee beans sourced from Fuji Coffee in Tsu, Mie Prefecture. After careful maturation, the liquid is cloth-filtered, bottled, and gently pasteurized to preserve balance and depth. The result is a rich, aromatic fusion that bridges Japanese craftsmanship and specialty coffee culture, offering a uniquely indulgent and versatile drinking experience.
On the palate, Black Rumiko delivers deep roasted coffee aromas layered with subtle rice sweetness and a smooth, rounded texture. Notes of dark roast, cocoa, and gentle caramel unfold, complemented by a mild bitterness that softens beautifully when served over ice or with a splash of milk. Warming the beverage enhances its mellow richness, while drizzling it over vanilla ice cream creates an affogato-style dessert with complex depth. Bold yet harmonious, Black Rumiko offers a creative and memorable tasting experience for adventurous palates.
