The second sake go-around was Tsururei.
The sales manager of Tsururei was there.
This mellow sake was served at room temperature.
The aroma was sweet with a hint of richness.
In the mouth, it has a full-bodied flavor and sweetness typical of Tsururei.
I have had this before, but it becomes sweet and delicious again when the temperature goes up.
I would like to try drinking it warm 🤔.
The second one is Tsururei's special pure Yamadanishiki hiyaoroshi.
I wanted to drink this one warm, but the restaurant was very busy with the event, so I would like to try again at a later date.
I had it cold and of course it was delicious.
Tsururei is delicious 🍶✨.
Niigata Prefecture
Yukio Junmai Sake
Polishing ratio 60
Alcohol 15%.
It tastes like a lactic acid drink, not sweet.
It is dry and has little sweetness, but has a rich alcoholic aftertaste.
Goes well with simmered dishes.
Tsururei Junmai Daiginjo stored in a snow cellar, a souvenir from a trip to Niigata. It has a fruity grape-like aroma. It has a slow spread of umami and sweetness that lingers on the tongue for a long time. The alcohol content is 15%, but it is much stronger than that. It is hard to find such a rich mouthfeel.
Aroma is classic
Taste is strong rice sweetness
Soft mouthfeel
Full-bodied and mellow.
Dry, but not too dry, with a hint of sweetness and umami.
Pork ginger as a snack
The three guys next door keep drinking this and talking about how good it tastes.
Brown Tsururei 🟤.
I always thought this label would be Koshitanrei, but hiyaoroshi is the same special junmai!
It was a delicious sake with a sense of the season!
The assistant chef was kind enough to serve us tempura!
We are still drinking!
We added sushi rolls and were satisfied again this evening!

Today, I took a paid vacation,
I went to Hardoff Eco Stadium in Niigata to watch a high school baseball game at the Niigata Prefecture Fall Tournament.
It had been about two months since I watched the quarterfinals of the summer tournament in July.
3rd place game Teikyo Nagaoka - Hokuetsu
Final match: Chuetsu - Niigata Meikun
Niigata Meikun won the championship with an upset victory.
On the way home, we had a drink 🍺🍶 at a travel bar near Niigata Station, where we also stopped in July.
The owner of the bar remembered us.
Edamame and Niigata craft beer.
We started with Tsururei's "Enjuku-Yamashu" sake, aged for 3 years in a snow cellar.
This is delicious!
