■ "Kuro Kiri Test 2025"
The "Kuro Kiri Test 2025" is a challenge for Kuro Kiri lovers. It's a free quiz that requires a wide range of knowledge, from basic information about Kuro Kirishima to advanced questions that even Kirishima Shuzo's employees would find puzzling. Kuro Kirishima is beloved by many, and this year marks its 28th year since its release. This year's test offers two courses: a beginner's course (10 questions) and an advanced course (96 questions) to help you prove your love for Kuro Kiri. All questions are multiple-choice, and you must answer at least 8 out of 10 correctly to pass the beginner's course, and at least 69 out of 96 correctly to pass the advanced course.
A total of 96 successful applicants will be entered into a lottery to receive luxurious prizes. For the beginner's course, 90 people will receive one Kurokkiriball glass and one Kuro Kirishima original coaster, perfect for drinking at home. For the advanced course, 6 people will receive a large-capacity Kuro Kirishima "Kuro Kirishima Masu Masu Hanjo* (4.5L/25% ABV) bottle" and a 2kg Ozaki beef set, which includes a representative brand of beef from Miyazaki Prefecture.
Why not prove your love for Kurokiri by taking the Kurokiri Quiz? We look forward to your participation.

※In Japan, 4.5L is also called 2 masu 5 go. 5 go is equal to a half of 1 sho (reads as 'hanjo' in Japanese), so Japanese people use this and pose a riddle how to read '2 masu 5 go,' and the answer is 'masu masu hanjo' (means 'more and more prosperous').
