Jun" has the umami of rice typical of junmai sake, but also has the clean, elegant sharpness typical of Shibarizuru. The aroma is subdued, making it suitable as a mealtime sake that complements meals. It has a soft mouthfeel, with a gentle spread of rice flavor, and finishes with a clear, transparent aftertaste. It can be enjoyed at a wide range of temperatures, from cold to warmed sake.
I can't help but pick up a bottle when it's blue 😅The summer sakes are getting scarce and I'm starting to miss them. I've never had a bottle of Shimebari Tsuru before 😀 It's a bit alcoholic, but it's refreshing and crisp for summer and I love it!
Where to buy: Shikagura
The aroma is subdued, and in the mouth you can feel the acidity and the alcohol, both of which disappear quickly, making it a very light wine.

In June, I went to Niigata to visit relatives in the countryside.
My uncle gave me this sake as a gift.
I think it is the cheapest regular sake among all the sake brands, but how good it is!
I had it at room temperature. Tomorrow I'll drink it heated.
I'll drink it heated. Even though it's summer 😂.
I'd be happy if I could drink this every night!
