Excellent stability, no doubt. Mellow, warming sake.

This sake is a gift. It is the first time to drink this sake. It is light and dry, but it has a sweet and bitter taste at room temperature.
However, it is a delicious sake.

This is a homemade hiyaoroshi🤣 that I purchased around May of this year, drank about half of it, and stored it at room temperature.
I remember that when I drank it in May, it was a mildly sweet, dusty sake.
It does not have much of an aged aroma. I think the sweetness is a little lessened and the umami is stronger. I didn't feel much sourness. Yes, it is delicious👍.
It seems to be a strong sake and can be aged for a longer period of time.
It was gone before I could try heating it up! My wife didn't calculate how much to drink 😂.
I'll buy it again when I see it since it's not sold very often in my neighborhood 🍶.

Hello, Tsutsukitate-san!
I'm not sure what to do with Tsuru no Tomo every time I go to the liquor store. If it's a four-pack bottle, I buy it right away😅.
If it's okay to keep it, I might give it a try 🙄Thank you for the valuable information 🙏.

Hi Pon 😊
It doesn't seem to be too much of a problem if you leave it alone and don't expose it to direct sunlight.
I would hesitate to use a square 😅.

Inviting my parents-in-law to the stage of my eldest son's brass band
Dinner party, toasted with Tare Katsu (deep-fried pork cutlet)
We toasted with Tsuru-no Tomo!
Mild and gentle sweetness and
and a full-bodied flavor.
Numerically speaking, it is dry, but it has a clean, soft, sweet and umami taste,
A cosy evening sake that you should drink when you come to Niigata.
It's delicious!

I found it at the Ponshukan around the time of the Bon festival 👀.
It's a four-pack bottle, which you don't see very often around here, and it comes with a box 🎁.
I think it was probably prepared as a souvenir for a customer going back home 👀.
I often buy it by the bottle, so there's no need to buy it here at all, but it's a rare find... ✨
It's a collector's item now 😅
It's 16-17%, which is high for a regular honjozo.
It has a subtle but light ginjo aroma. It's a Niigata honjozo, but it has a round voluptuousness and sharpness. ⚡️ And it complements the food, but doesn't interfere with it at all.
If you don't get greedy, you can have this sake all the time.
I ruminate in my head 😌.
I guess that's the kind of sake that is a staple for me 🍶.

From the description
It is a daiginjo-level sake brewed in the ginjo style. It is light in the mouth, but later on it has a strong umami and fruitiness. It is an attractive sake with a unique flavor full of transparency, mellow richness, and a pleasant aftertaste.
If you want to feel the delicious taste of rice, you should drink this! It is a good quality product!
It's just delicious😍Although it's alky, you can hardly smell the alcohol smell even if you drink it cold, chilled or lukewarm. Not so good when heated 💦Alcoholic
The aroma in the glass is a little vinegar-like, but not sour.
The smell on the palate is not alcoholic and has a rich rice flavor, but it is refreshing, and the aroma that leaves the nose is hard to describe.
The lingering aftertaste is refreshing and goes away without the messy feeling of alcohol that is often associated with soaked sakes.
I feel lucky to be able to buy this sake all the time😍.
Delicious!
I only have a bottle so I'm transferring it to a boiled Yongo bottle and putting it in the fridge👍

Good morning 😍
As a parent, it's nice to see you doing something natural that you couldn't do until recently 😍.
I also hesitated with a bottle of sake 💦I thought it would be okay to split it into smaller portions since it's not raw 🤔 Please taste it 🤔...

Good morning 😁.
I know many people are hesitant to buy a bottle 💦I'm one of them😁.
But it's worth it!
It's not raw sake, so you can divide it into 4-gou bottles! You just have to sterilize it by boiling it.

Sake from Niigata for 3 consecutive sea days
The second bottle was "Tsuru no Tomo Tokusen" which is said to be the best local sake...
This special selection is exceptionally delicious!
It is not light and dry, but has a mellow flavor. It is really delicious!

Rice used is Gohyakumangoku
Just as I was shocked when I had "Tokusen" before, this is just as good!
As Mr. Hiraccio said, I think this is the real life of Niigata sake. ‼️
It has a pleasant alcohol taste and a full-bodied sweetness and richness.
The aftertaste is refreshing and top level food sake. ❣️
Unfortunately, there are no stores in my hometown that carry it.

This is only the second one in Niigata. No, no, no 😓.
Surprisingly no color.
From room temperature. Aroma of alcohol.
But when you drink it, it becomes soft and soft, and then it slowly becomes minerality and a little sweetness like syrup, and then it gradually pulls up with a bitter and spicy feeling.
When lightly cooled to 10°C, the spiciness is slightly reduced and the sweetness is followed by bitterness.
When heated to 40°C (104°F), the pungency becomes stronger.
Raise the temperature to 45°C and the spiciness becomes mellower, while the temperature of 50°C is similar. The sweetness is reduced, but if you are looking for sharpness and impact, warming is the way to go. When cooled from 45℃, it becomes sweet again. 50℃ keeps it tingling, but when cooled from 50℃, it is still pungent.
It is often said to be a typical sake, and it certainly gives that impression. The change with temperature is also interesting. This is not a low-end product normal sake 😳.
It won't change at all if left at room temperature (by the way, it was produced on December 24, 2022, just six months before opening), and it's not heavy, so the cup will go on drinking.
The only drawback is that there are only a few stores that sell it, but there is no shortage of it as a regular sake at all.

For Father's Day, this year I'm having Tsuru no Tomo Bessen.
I send my father what I want to drink too, and we drink it together.
The aroma is mild but slightly fruity,
It has a light and dry taste with a full flavor,
When warmed up to lukewarm, it has a more gentle and soft flavor.
The taste is more gentle and soft, and the flavor is soaked into the mouth,
This is good.
A gorgeous sake is good, but this kind of sake is still a good sake,
I think this kind of sake is good sake,
Sipping heated sake with Japanese food is the best.

I got this sake in Urawa that I really liked after drinking it in Niigata 😆 Mellow and mild ☺️. Creamy. I can drink as much as I want. I think it's the best daily sake at the moment. It goes well with sea bass, bonito sashimi, shrimp garlic shrimp, mushroom myoga and 😋 everything.
