カシス is a common loanword for blackcurrant, especially in food and drink contexts. 黒房酸塊 is the native Japanese term, more formal or botanical.
Compound of 黒房 (kurofusa, 'black cluster') and 酸塊 (suguri, 'currant'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the name describes the plant's dark clustered fruit.
