The aroma of white wine spreads softly as soon as the glass is tipped. As this impression remains, a gentle sweetness spreads softly in the mouth, followed soon after by a tight acidity. The acidity does not play too much of a leading role, but is balanced by the sweetness, making the drink refreshing and light, just like a fruit wine. Its appeal is even more pronounced when served well chilled.
This is a bottle that truly represents "the challenge that is typical of Azumatsuru.
The Higashitsuru Brewery, which has been in business for more than 200 years in Taku, Saga, has been rebranding itself since the current brewer, Mr. Komatsu took over, and succeeded in obtaining soft water more suitable for sake brewing by digging a new well 100 meters down. With this water and new facilities, the quality of sake has been refined and the expression of acidity and clarity has been refined.
This junmai-shu made with wine yeast is one such challenge. By daring to use wine yeast instead of the usual sake yeast, we were able to achieve a different acidity and aroma from conventional sake. Especially this year, the koji has been finished well, giving the sake an even more translucent appearance.
This is a slightly strange, yet very pleasant sake that makes you think, "Sake can be like this. It is recommended for sake beginners.

I only like the words 😁.
I had my first bottle of this Higashi Tsuru at tomo-san's Tokyo Irarui meeting, and I was able to get a bottle right away. Viva Hanpukai✨!
It's azuma-ish,
No, it's azuma-ish. Much to my liking 💞.
Sweet and gorgeous aroma. I would recommend this to people who don't like sake-like products because of its fresh aroma and taste. Of course, it is also for drinkers.
It's 16%, but you can drink it very easily, right?
I was like, "It's 16%, but you can drink it very easily, right?
It was planted in my memory as a sake that allowed me to endure falling asleep, clean up properly, take a bath, and go to bed 😆.
Oh, yes, have you read the latest issue of "Sake and Love Must Be Drunk," which is familiar with your icon, Kashu-chan? I don't have much of an appetite for things, but I wanted to have that house. Remodeling my parents' house? 😅
Good morning, Ane! I'm so glad to hear that 🙋
Azuma Tsuru, it's delicious 😁.
I think it's the best I've had since last year, sweet and tasty and at that price. 👍
Good evening, Tomoyuki Kumagai 🌆.
This is only the second kind, but it is perfectly in the middle. This is not so cheap, more expensive than Momoten of Amami, more expensive than Enochi of Saku, more expensive than Honmaru of Jyushiyo 🤣.

Dry but acidic and umami. Beautiful ✨Too much match with leatherfish with liver 😆, fainting in agony. Fried horse mackerel, tartar included, I'll take it 🎊.

I bought this sake after it was explained to me that I would definitely buy it if it was available. I opened the bottle in the sink, and even though it was well chilled, it poured out for a while and ran out around the neck of the 4-goupe bottle.
It says it is slightly sparkling, but it was very active. It is a rich, sweet and sour sparkling sake with white malted rice used to accentuate the flavor. It has a good balance of sweetness and sourness like white peaches and feels like a fruit wine.
When poured into a glass, it is cloudy and the amount of oli is a little high. The aroma is fresh, with hints of grapefruit, pear, and a hint of melon. When you drink it, the fresh and juicy flavor spreads freshly with a feeling of petit-petit and fine gas. Along with the gaseous sensation, you can also taste a richness, umami, and mild sweetness. The smoothness of the throat and the gentle sweetness in the aftertaste. Delicious 😋.
Purchased at a tasting and sale at a liquor store
Mr. Nonaka, the president of the company, was there so I heard a lot of stories 😆.
There were a lot of extras (?) I also received a bromide of the president that I made a few years ago (photo is on the back) 🤭.
I heard that a sake event originally held in Tokyo will be held in Osaka next month due to the Expo.
I heard that Azumatsuru will be there too, so I might go there on my way back home 🤔.
Cold sake
Sweet and sour aroma
The taste is gentle, not lumpy, and it's made from a traditional sake yeast stock.
Less juicy and gorgeous than other limited edition sake.
but there is a hint of sweetness that is typical of Azumatsuru.
May: Higashitsuru Junmai Ginjo-shu Unfiltered Nama-shu & Satsukuchiman Junmai Daiginjo-Once Fired! Beautiful ginjo aroma. The sweetness is mild. The acidity is strong. Bitterness can be felt. It was the first brand I drank from the hanpukai, but it was very tasty.
This is a special order item for the sake shops of Higashitsuru, a company we have been serving a lot recently. This one is made with Saga no Hana (flower of Saga) and is bottle warmed and hi-seasoned to preserve its fruity flavor. We have high expectations.
It has a melon-like sweetness, but it is not too sweet and the aroma is not too strong, so it is quite refreshing. It may be the type that is popular these days. It can be enjoyed by itself or with food.
Higashi-Tsuru is a family-owned business, and I don't think the production volume was that large. However, they have pursued the pursuit of flavor by deepening the well and are a brewery that I would like to continue to patronize in the future.
Lately, I've been a fan of Azuma Tsuru-san: ❣️
But there are some I haven't had yet!
If it's light nigori and draft, it's a must try ⤴️
It smells like strawberries when you open it 😍!
If you sip it without mixing too much orikori, it has a sharp sweet and sour taste...yummy⤴️⤴️
The spicy and slightly spicy flavor makes it a perfect combination 🙆🙆.
Spicy dry curry goes surprisingly well 😋.
Even after a few days, the strawberry-like flavor is still delicious ❣️❣️

Hi Rika 🐦.
The 🍓-flavored Azuma Tsuru looks delicious 🍓- the ❣️ label is also 🍓-like and spring-like🌸I've been curious about this brand for a long time but I can't seem to find it💦I'll get any of them when I find them😆.
Ponchan❣️Tozuru is a sake from Saga, so they carry it in Fukuoka and it's easy to get if you travel to Saga🙆Thank goodness 🎶It may be a matter of taste, koji, rice, or water, but Kyushu Yamaguchi sake seems to suit my palate more 😍.
