I was too busy to stock up on sake for New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, so I bought some when I went shopping for dinner on New Year's Eve.
This was my first MOVIN from the Higashi Tsuru Sake Brewery, a brewery I have been pushing for.
It has a pear-like fruity aroma, typical of Higashitsuru.
It has a fresh yet clear mouthfeel.
Gentle umami and a balance of acidity and sweetness ✨.
It's a perfect sake for a meal in the Higashi Tsuru lineup!
The most delicious 😋.
The name has two meanings: "to act positively as a brewery" and "a dynamic taste".
Thank you for the treat 😋.
I came home and had a drink for dinner.
I bought a bottle of Higashitsuru from Saga Prefecture, which was recommended at the Komiya Sake Shop in Minamiurawa.
Higashi Tsuru from Saga Prefecture, a winter-ready ogara-mi draft.
It is fresh, slightly sparkling, and refreshing,
Maybe because it is the first day of opening, the taste seems to be more open, so I would like to limit it to half a 2-ounce bottle.

Aroma unknown, sweet and gentle sake.
We enjoyed it with fried squid, fried gyoza, and miso soup.
It is sweet, but the alcohol is low and the acidity gives it a nice sharpness.

The last sake was Higashitsuru's Winter Utakata.
I had enjoyed their Spring Sun brand so much that I bought it this time to see if there was anything available as a sparkling sake.
I opened the bottle and wondered what this one would be like, since the Sengoku Classic I had earlier was a sparkling sake.
Surprisingly, it opened well without any violence. 👍
When I poured it into the glass, it was slightly cloudy and shiny.
When you put it in your mouth, a beautiful sweetness spreads out, which is also delicious.
It was a good choice! I am so proud of myself (laugh).
I asked President Yaegashi to drink it as well.
But, then again, wouldn't it be good to have a sparkling wine like this?
Please try to make it somehow!
It will definitely increase the number of fans!
(laughs).
Don't put so much pressure on me! but his face is grinning when he enjoys a good drink (laughs).
Also, the president of Hayashigyo, who sat diagonally to my left this time, is a person who often visits the brewery with President Yaegashi, and his wife is from Tottori.
We talked about the Inadahime we drank the other day and had a great time! 😁.
We were on the same drinking wavelength and talked incessantly! 👍
Tomoyuki Kumagai, good morning 😃I thought the food at the New Year's party was as good as can be expected from a hotel ✨and the sake you brought in is also excellent💕I really like the Azuma Tsuru that comes out every season and buy it whenever I see it 😊.
Good morning, Wakata! I'm not sure what to say 🙋.
I thought that Azuma Tsuru was very tasty when I drank Spring Sun, so I thought that a sparkling wine made from white rice would have a good acidity, right? So I bought it.
There are 2 more types! 😁
It's the 22BY of Azuma Tsuru 🍶.
I didn't take a picture, but there was a black ooze-like substance floating in the poured sake😅.
First, it was served cold.
The first aroma was indescribable.
The sweetness that is typical of Azumatsuru is still there in the mouth.
Next, warmed sake.
The top aroma is still very twitchy.
The sweetness expands as it warms up, but the hiney aroma gets in the way and ruins everything 😂.
Thank you for the meal 😌.
