Junmai Ginjo Yuri from Tsurunoe Sake Brewery in Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima Prefecture.
It is a collaboration of a mother who is a sake brewing engineer and her daughter who majored in yeast science, and Yuri is her daughter's name. That episode alone is enough to make you want to drink it.
The first time I drank it was at the store, and my first impression was of a soft, feminine sake!
I happened to get one of the few arrivals this time. It is still a sake like a woman's tenderness. It has a faint sweet aroma like amazake, and when you put it in your mouth, the sourness and sweetness rise softly and then fade away nicely. It leaves a fruity taste like after eating strawberries.
The pale blue sake bottle is also beautiful. Everything is not overdone in a good way, it is a nice sake.
The gentle sweetness spreads and flows easily.
There was little cloying or alcoholic taste, and I found myself drinking it with pickles all the way up to 2 am.
For some reason, I often saw this sake at liquor stores in Nagasaki, even though it is from Fukushima.
Perhaps because it is made by a woman and her son, it comes in a box with a gentle design.
720 mL at home
Sake from Fukushima Aizu🍶 that was served at the dinner with President Trump. But he was not a drinker, so the staff around him and Abe must have enjoyed it. It is fruity, refreshing, and easy to drink. It is a delicious sake.
This bottle was recommended to me by an older colleague who is a sake fanatic. It is interesting that a woman seems to be the toji (master brewer). The taste is dry at first, but the aroma comes through later.
A journey in search of the most popular sake. Aromatic. Rich in flavor and slightly sweet. I could go on drinking sake by itself, but it is also delicious with sashimi (today, yellowtail). I'm from Fukushima Prefecture, but I didn't know there was such a rich sake.
It's been quite a while since I've posted (for the second time) lol.
I drink a lot of sake itself, but I bought this sake 🍶 as a souvenir for myself when I went to Fukushima last week for a three-day weekend.
Sorry if my impression of the taste is wrong as it is subjective 😢⤵️⤵️.
As for the taste, as the name suggests, it is a light, gentle, sweet type.
If you drink it chilled, you can drink it all the time.
