Aftertaste: Clear, with a gentle alcohol sweetness lingering, while a prickly acidity comes to the side of the tongue.
Impression: Refreshingly light and dry.
The aroma is fresh and fruity, with a green apple note.
In the mouth, the elements are well-honed and the wine is light and refreshing. Although it is light, the balance of acidity and sugar content gives it a fruity taste.
Personally, I like this genre very much.
It is suitable for bringing out the delicate sweetness of food, so I would prefer it with sashimi or soba noodles rather than strong flavored food.
Repeat Score 2.5
A very tasty sake that I had at an izakaya during my trip to Niigata.
Fruity.
Dry but well balanced with sweetness.
It is only available at about five liquor stores in Japan! It was written on the menu.
I had this sake tonight.
Although it has a strong acidity, it is a sake that you can enjoy without getting tired of drinking it.
My motto is to enjoy a variety of sakes without being particular about what I drink, and thanks to this, I was able to encounter some delicious sakes, although I can't say which ones.
I am very thankful for that.
Probably because Tsururei is a sweet and sour sake to begin with, it is easy to drink even if it is dry. It is slightly sour and refreshing but still has a delicious flavor.
I went home and had another glass. The Junmai was so good on Tuesday that I bought a Junmai Ginjo yesterday. It was soft to the taste, but I felt it was dry, probably because it was after Kayasha. Tomorrow is a long day, so I went to bed quickly.
I bought a small 180ml bottle of Tsururei Junmai Daiginjo that I wanted to try at Ponshukan😊.
The taste is elegant and mildly sweet with a touch of bitterness at the end 😋.
It's not too sweet and you can drink it easily ✨.
Not much acidity but it was a well balanced junmai daiginjo👍
I started working overtime on Monday early in June. Busy for a meeting this weekend. I thought I would go home after having a drink at a standing bar, but unfortunately it was closed. So I went to this restaurant next door. It is always crowded, but it was empty because of the late hour. I ordered a Tsururei Junmai Ginjo. It was junmai, but it was light and fruity. But it was light, fruity, and delicious.
The shiitake mushroom tempura was also good. I drank it quickly and left.
Drink at Izakaya near Hakozaki Station
Drink cold sake
The aroma is mild.
Full flavor on the palate.
After the taste finishes, a slightly strong dryness appears after a delay.
Easy to match with various snacks
This is one of the series that I had been keeping in the fridge.
I bought it from Aoki Shuzo in Minamiuonuma City, Niigata Prefecture, and it was a limited winter sale Makino, a freshly brewed sake.
The rice used is 100% Yamadanishiki from Tojo Town, Hyogo Prefecture.
Polishing ratio is 37%.
Sake degree is -0.3
Alcohol content is 17
Before opening, the label is sagging due to age.
However, the bottle is tightly closed, so a sense of maturity is expected.
When the bottle is opened, the aroma is gorgeous and wafts in the air.
When poured into the sake cup, the smooth and transparent quality of the sake is surprising.
The first sip is very smooth, and a gorgeous rice flavor rises in the mouth.
The acidity is moderate, and the stones have lost their angularity, giving a sense of roundness.
When swallowed, it goes down the throat with a refreshing taste and a slight bitterness.
When served chilled, you can enjoy its light and refreshing taste. When served at room temperature, the umami flavor increases and the mellow aroma spreads in the mouth. You can enjoy the changes in flavor even more.
I like Niigata's light sake .
