What is BLACK MAGIC? 

 A sugar-free Japanese coffee liqueur that's delicious on the rocks! This ultimate coffee liqueur, named BLACK MAGIC, is a sugar-free blend of Junmai Ginjo sake and specialty coffee. The harmony played by the fruity Junmai Ginjo sake and the rich, full-bodied Ethiopian coffee with a fruity essence... its flavor combines not only the "cherry" and "apple" notes of Junmai Ginjo sake but also the "bitter chocolate" and "mango" flavors of coffee.

 Until now, most coffee liqueurs were sweetened and not suitable for drinking straight. We often heard comments like "too sweet," "can't it be a little less sweet?", or "can't you make something more bitter?".

Therefore, we pursued a "coffee liqueur that is delicious straight and on the rocks," repeating trial and error, and as a result, a surprising fact was discovered. We concluded that "added sugar" can dull the taste, masking it for better or worse.

To put it bluntly, "even if you use poor quality sake or coffee, adding sugar can mask the taste." Conversely, "if it's unsweetened and sugar-free, there's no hiding the taste." So, wouldn't an intensely delicious coffee liqueur be created if we made it sugar-free and used high-quality sake and coffee?

As a result, the idea of sugar-free emerged. By eliminating all sugars, the natural sweetness and richness of "sake" and "coffee" came to the forefront, giving birth to a sugar-free Japanese coffee liqueur that is delicious on the rocks.

To make a delicious coffee liqueur, you need delicious sake! High-quality Junmai Ginjo sake has a fruity flavor. We thought, "Can we achieve this Junmai Ginjo sake flavor in a coffee liqueur?" And with sugar-free, we could highlight this delicate balance without destroying it!

Then, we considered whether a delicate, high-quality coffee that wouldn't overpower the sake's flavor could be successfully blended. We arrived at Yirgacheffe, an Ethiopian coffee from West Africa, known for its fruity aroma. Yes, the harmony between sake and coffee was achieved precisely because it is sugar-free.

"Ethiopian Yirgacheffe" is located in the highlands at an altitude of 2500m and is known as one of Ethiopia's leading producers of high-quality coffee. At high altitudes, the difference in temperature between day and night produces high-quality acidity in the coffee beans. Its aroma is so delicious that it can be compared to full-bodied red wine or actual fruit.

One of the techniques that coffee roaster "0566 Coffee Factory" excels at is coffee bean "blending," and by applying this technique, the combination of Junmai Ginjo and Ethiopian coffee that harmonizes with it was born. BLACK MAGIC is a coffee liqueur that captivates both "sake lovers" and "coffee lovers."

As an exquisite coffee liqueur, we want you to savor it straight or on the rocks. However, its sugar-free nature offers infinite possibilities. We also recommend mixing it with milk or using it in various cocktails.

＊Straight / 30ml at room temperature. Chilled is also fine.

＊Milk/Café au lait / 30ml milk + 30ml BLACK MAGIC + 20g whipped cream

＊Espresso Martini / Shake 15ml syrup + 60ml BLACK MAGIC

Etc.

"BLACK MAGIC" uses a cold brew manufacturing method, where coffee beans themselves are steeped in "sake." The sake used is Junmai Ginjo sake – an exquisite product with a rice polishing ratio of 55%, crafted with the "uncompromising craftsmanship" of "Sonno Kuramoto," founded in 1903.

Sonno Kuramoto is a sake brewery that has been single-mindedly pursuing genuine deliciousness in the Hazu area of Nishio City, Aichi Prefecture, overlooking Mikawa Bay.

Typically, in liqueur manufacturing, for fruit-based liqueurs, "fruit juice" is added to "sake." This means a "liquid" from fruit is mixed with the "sake" liquid. This lowers the alcohol content, and while the sake's flavor decreases, the fruitiness emerges. Although it dilutes the sake, this is a common method for liqueur production.

In contrast, "BLACK MAGIC" employs a cold brew manufacturing method, where coffee beans themselves are steeped in "sake." This means that absolutely no "water" or other liquids are used for coffee extraction; it's produced solely with sake and coffee beans.

This ensures that no other liquids mix with the sake, keeping the concentration the same and the alcohol content barely diminished. Thus, the sake is not diluted and its flavor is preserved. And because the coffee beans are directly steeped in the sake for extraction, the coffee's flavor also comes through directly.

Indeed, "sake" and "coffee" achieve a WIN-WIN relationship, allowing both flavors and deliciousness to be brought out. However, with this manufacturing method, the coffee beans absorb the sake, and the volume reduces to nearly half during the filtration process, significantly increasing costs. Both the "sake" and "coffee" used are of high quality, which drives up the cost. Moreover, the cold brew method reduces the volume by almost half... However, in the pursuit of "deliciousness," we arrived at this manufacturing method. Normally, mixing "coffee liquid" with "sake" would increase the volume and save costs. But with the belief that "we don't want to dilute it with water!" and "it's certainly better to be delicious, even if it costs more," we decided to release BLACK MAGIC to the world, even though it's a slightly premium liqueur, after thoroughly committing to deliciousness.

"A sugar-free domestic coffee liqueur that's delicious straight and on the rocks," BLACK MAGIC will invite you into a subtly sweet, extraordinary moment.
