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 fusion of junmai ginjo sake and specialty coffee, finished without sugar. The harmony of fruity junmai ginjo sake with the richness and depth of Ethiopian coffee creates flavors reminiscent not only of "cherry blossoms" and "apples" from junmai ginjo sake, but also of "bitter chocolate" and "mango" from coffee.

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

So, we repeatedly experimented to create a "coffee liqueur that's delicious straight and on the rocks," and discovered a surprising truth. We concluded that "added sugar" can dull the taste and mask flavors, for better or worse.

Bluntly speaking, "even if you use low-quality alcohol or coffee, you can mask the taste by adding sugar." Conversely, "if you don't add sugar and make it sugar-free, there's no hiding the taste." So, wouldn't a sugar-free coffee liqueur made with high-quality alcohol and coffee be absolutely delicious?

This led to the idea of going sugar-free. By eliminating all sugars, the inherent sweetness and umami of "alcohol" and "coffee" emerged, giving birth to a sugar-free Japanese coffee liqueur that's delicious on the rocks.

To make a delicious coffee liqueur, you need good sake! High-quality junmai ginjo sake has a fruity flavor. We thought, "Can we bring out this junmai ginjo sake flavor in a coffee liqueur?" and "If it's sugar-free, we can preserve this delicate flavor without killing it!"

Then, we thought, couldn't we achieve a good fusion by selecting delicate, high-quality coffee that doesn't overpower the sake's flavor? This led us to Yirgacheffe coffee from Ethiopia, West Africa, known for its fruity aroma. That's right, it was precisely because it's sugar-free that we were able to harmonize sake and coffee.

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

Coffee roaster "0566 Coffee Factory" specializes in coffee bean "blending," and by applying this technique, a combination of junmai ginjo sake and harmonious Ethiopian coffee was born. BLACK MAGIC is a coffee liqueur that captivates both "sake lovers" and "coffee lovers."

Since it's an exquisite coffee liqueur, we want you to enjoy it straight or on the rocks. However, because it's sugar-free, it has endless possibilities. We also recommend mixing it with milk or using it in various cocktails.

*Straight / 30ml at room temperature. Also delicious chilled.

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

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

etc.

"BLACK MAGIC" employs the cold brew method, where coffee beans themselves are steeped in alcohol. The alcohol used is junmai ginjo sake—an exquisite product with a rice polishing ratio of 55%, crafted with the "uncompromising craftsmanship" of "Sonnou Kuramoto," a brewery founded in 1903.

Sonnou Kuramoto is a sake brewery that has single-mindedly pursued authentic deliciousness in the Hazu district of Nishio City, Aichi Prefecture, overlooking Mikawa Bay.

Typically, liqueur production involves adding "fruit juice" to "alcohol" for fruit-based liqueurs. This means mixing a "liquid" from fruit with the "liquid" alcohol. As a result, the alcohol content decreases due to the fruit juice, and the fruitiness emerges at the expense of some alcoholic flavor. While this dilutes the alcohol, it's a common method for liqueur production.

In contrast, "BLACK MAGIC" utilizes the cold brew method, where coffee beans themselves are steeped directly in "alcohol." This means it is produced using only alcohol and coffee beans, without any "water" or other liquids for coffee extraction.

This ensures that no other liquid mixes with the alcohol, maintaining its concentration and almost no reduction in alcohol content. Therefore, the alcohol is not diluted, and its flavor is preserved. Furthermore, because coffee beans are directly steeped in the alcohol for extraction, the coffee flavor comes through directly.

This creates a truly "WIN-WIN" relationship between "alcohol" and "coffee," bringing out the flavor and deliciousness of both. However, with this manufacturing method, the coffee beans absorb the alcohol, and the volume is reduced by almost half during the filtering process, significantly increasing costs. Since both the "sake" and "coffee" used are of high quality, the costs increase. Moreover, the cold brew method reduces the volume by almost half... However, in the pursuit of "deliciousness," this manufacturing method was chosen. Normally, mixing "coffee liquid" with "sake" would increase the volume and help with costs. However, with the conviction that "we don't want to dilute it with water!" and "even if it's expensive, delicious is always better," we decided to release BLACK MAGIC to the world, making it a somewhat premium liqueur, but thoroughly committed to deliciousness.

"A sugar-free Japanese coffee liqueur that's delicious straight and on the rocks," BLACK MAGIC will surely transport you to a subtly sweet, otherworldly moment.

*BLACK MAGIC is an alcoholic beverage. Please drink responsibly and only if you are over 20 years old.
