A rare and rare sake from Tsuru no Tomo ✨.
You might be able to find it at Yashichi in Uchino Shikaku, Nishi-ku, Niigata, but this time I found it at Niigata Antenna Shop in Ginza and bought it right away 🤣.
The taste is very elegant, mellow and soft on the palate 😊.
The last part of the taste has a sharpness that is typical of Niigata. It has more mellow sweetness than the Bessen and has a Junmai Daiginjo feel to it.
It's a very typical Niigata sake, and it's really good because it's a local sake 😋.
Is this the first sake whose name you have heard in your life? If you were to ask me, I would immediately answer: Tsuru no Tomo🍶 from the Higi Sake Brewery.
I have very good memories of the delicious aroma of rice cooked in the morning at the sake brewery that was on my way to elementary school 😊.
I was also a part of the social studies field trip in elementary school ✨That's all I have to say about the Tsuru no Tomo that was always kept at my parents' house, so much for memories lol.
As for the taste, it's a refreshing, watery sake that's really easy to drink at first sip 🍶 It's a typical Niigata sake with a strong sense of rice! If you like a more sharp and dry sake, I recommend Tokusen, and if you like a mellow, umami sake, I recommend Kamigoto Morohaku ✨I will review it later!
A local sake brewery's sake "Tsuru no Tomo Tokusen", which can only be purchased in Niigata City's Nishi Ward, is served with dinner. This sake is the best sake in Niigata. The boiled flounder and fried oysters are also delicious.
