What is BLACK MAGIC? 

 A sugar-free Japanese coffee liqueur that's delicious on the rocks! BLACK MAGIC is the ultimate coffee liqueur, crafted by blending junmai ginjo sake with specialty coffee and finished sugar-free. The fruity junmai ginjo sake harmonizes with the fruity taste and richness of Ethiopian coffee... Its flavor encompasses not only the "cherry blossom" 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 frequently heard comments like "too sweet," "can't it be less sweet?", and "can't you make something more bitter?".

So, we pursued a "coffee liqueur that is delicious straight and on the rocks," going through repeated trials and errors. The surprising truth that emerged was this: "sweetening" has the effect of dulling flavors and, for better or worse, masking them.

To put it bluntly, "even if you use low-quality sake or coffee, sweetening them can mask the taste."In other words, the opposite is true: "if it's sugar-free, you can't mask anything." So, we thought, if we make it sugar-free and use high-quality sake and coffee, wouldn't we create an incredibly delicious coffee liqueur?

That's how the idea of being sugar-free was born. By eliminating all sugars, the inherent sweetness and umami of "sake" and "coffee" emerged, giving birth to a Japanese coffee liqueur that's delicious on the rocks and sugar-free.

To make a delicious coffee liqueur, you need delicious sake! High-quality Junmai Ginjo sake has a fruity flavor. We wondered if we could achieve this Junmai Ginjo sake flavor in a coffee liqueur? We realized that if it was sugar-free, we could bring out this delicate flavor without suppressing it!

Conversely, we thought, wouldn't it be possible to successfully blend them if we chose a delicate, high-quality coffee that wouldn't overpower the sake's flavor? This led us to Yirgacheffe coffee from Ethiopia in West Africa, known for its fruity aroma. That's right, it was precisely because it was sugar-free that we were able to achieve harmony between sake and coffee.

"Ethiopian Yirgacheffe" is located at an altitude of 2500m and is known as one of Ethiopia's leading producers of high-quality coffee. The high altitude and significant temperature differences result in coffee beans with excellent acidity. Its aroma and flavor are so exquisite they can be compared to full-bodied red wine or ripe fruit itself.

One of the specialties of coffee roaster "0566 Coffee Factory" is the "blending" of coffee beans. Applying this technique, we created the combination of Junmai Ginjo sake and Ethiopian coffee that harmonizes perfectly. BLACK MAGIC is a coffee liqueur that captivates both "sake lovers" and "coffee lovers."

Because it's an exquisite coffee liqueur, we want you to savor it straight or on the rocks. However, being sugar-free means it holds 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 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 "Sonnou Kuramoto," founded in Meiji 36 (1903).

Sonnou Kuramoto is a sake brewery located in the Hazu district of Nishio City, Aichi Prefecture, overlooking Mikawa Bay, that has consistently pursued true deliciousness in sake brewing.

Typically, fruit liqueurs are made by adding "fruit juice" to "sake." This means mixing the "liquid" of fruit with the "liquid" of sake. This lowers the alcohol content due to the fruit juice, reducing the sake's flavor but adding fruitiness. While it dilutes the alcohol, this is a common method for liqueur production.

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

This ensures that no other liquid mixes with the sake, maintaining its concentration and almost no reduction in alcohol content. As a result, the sake is not diluted, and its flavor is preserved. Furthermore, by directly steeping coffee beans in the sake for extraction, the coffee's flavor is also expressed directly.

It's truly a WIN-WIN relationship between "sake" and "coffee," allowing both flavors and umami to be brought out. However, with this manufacturing method, the coffee beans absorb the sake, and the volume is reduced by nearly half during the filtration process, significantly increasing costs. Both the "sake" and "coffee" used are of high quality, which drives up costs. Moreover, the cold brew method reduces the volume by almost half... Yet, in pursuit of "deliciousness," we arrived at this manufacturing method. Normally, mixing "coffee liquid" with "sake" would increase volume and save costs. However, from the conviction that "we don't want to dilute it with water!" and "it's definitely better to be delicious, even if it's more expensive," we decided to release this BLACK MAGIC to the world, making it a somewhat premium liqueur, but one thoroughly committed to exquisite taste.

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

*BLACK MAGIC is an alcoholic beverage. Alcohol is for those aged 20 and over.
