Tsururei is known for its light, dry taste, but this is a different world, a mellow, structured style. The aroma has a fresh fruit aroma unique to nama-shu, and the taste has a punchy attack and sweetness typical of nama-shu. The fullness derived from Yamada-Nishiki is well expressed, with a combination of flamboyance and rice flavor. The taste is unusual for a Niigata sake.
However, I think that such a sake should at least be listed as a draft sake on the menu. I can't expect it to be just Tsururei Junmai Ginjo (laugh). I thought the price was a little high for Tsururei.
I should try adding water.
Pairing] Teriyaki yellowtail and braised beef

Today is the 14 year anniversary of our family wedding reception and after-party.
Dinner will be mainly grilled eggplant🍆 with cheese,
We will enjoy "Tsururei" hiyaoroshi sake from Shiozawa 😊.
We drink Tsururei hiyaoroshi every year and it is characterized by the umami of rice and acidity.
It is delicious 😋.
I bought another bottle this time.
I will let it sit and drink it heated in winter around February.
Hiraccio-san good evening😊and happy wedding anniversary㊗️Tsururei hiyaoroshi? I haven't had Tsururei for a long time, so I wanted to drink it after reading your review!
Good morning, Mr. Hiraccio 😃.
Happy wedding anniversary 💍🎉!
The table looks like it would be a good place to drink 🍶 😋 Boiled beans are a good snack with quantity, aren't they? I would like to drink Tsururei!
Thank you, Sashi 😊.
I drink Tsururei hiyaoroshi every year.
Tsururei has a sense of stability and plenty of rice flavor even when hiyaoroshi is used,
But the unfiltered raw sake is also very appealing.
Thank you Jay & Nobby 😊.
These are Happy Secret Beans from Yamagata Prefecture. I soak the dried beans in water for a bit, boil them, and they are useful as a substitute for edamame.
Tsururei, by all means👍.
Happy belated anniversary, Mr. Hiraccio 🎉💍!
I can't get enough of Tsururei hiyaoroshi and the nourishment of early autumn and the sense of the season 🍁This year the summer eggplants were delicious, so autumn eggplant 🍆 must be nice 😊.
