Nihonbashi Area Sake Tasting Walk
(6) Tsuneyama (Fukui/Tuneyama Sake Brewery)
Easy to drink with a fluffy feeling without too much acidity and aroma... 👏.

Today is a fine day in Fukui! So, we will have spring sake from Tsunezan!
The spring and fall seasonal sake comes from "Eika Gingetsu," which means to love the season and enjoy it honestly, which is wonderful! Gingetsu is also very tasty!
The sake rice is Sakahomare! It is a variety characterized by its elegant sweetness!
Aroma like melon or peach when you drink it. The chili flavor supports the sweetness and is delicious!
This spring sake is a perfect match for the cherry blossoms along the Ashiba River (and the sake brewery is close by)! (And it's close to a sake brewery.)
p.s. Maybe it's because Tsuneyama's reputation for seasonal sake has grown this year, but the larger liquor stores were out of stock, so I had to make the rounds of the liquor stores to get my hands on some!
Good evening, Termat-san.
I went on a trip to Fukui the other day and loved the cherry blossoms of the Ashiba River in full bloom🌸.
This time I drank sake in the city, but if I have the chance to go back, I would love to enjoy Fukui's spring sake while admiring the cherry blossoms along the Ashiba River 😊.
Good evening, Maa-san! I was looking forward to seeing how you enjoyed your trip to Fukui! Various breweries are offering spring sake, so it would be fun to have a hanami banquet! Please come back to Fukui where you can enjoy seasonal sake while viewing the ocean in the summer, rice fields in the fall, and snow in the winter!
This is the first brand I have ever received 🍶.
I started to see Tsuneyama at my favorite liquor store and when I asked about it, they recommended that it was good this year, so I gave it a try. ☺️
When I opened the bottle, there was not much aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a pleasant gaseous feeling, but it is sharp.
It is dry. I did some preliminary research and found that it has a reputation for being dry, so I was right.
It was completely chilled, but I thought it didn't have much flavor.
However, I thought it would taste better if I raised the temperature a little. So I decided to serve it at a higher temperature.
I took it in my mouth after a little time and found it to be 👍・・・・"👍
The sweetness is softer and the taste is so nice and clean 🤩.
It's good. Just because it's a draft sake doesn't mean it should be chilled 📝.
This was the first day.
(The next day)
It is definitely delicious 👏.
Even when chilled, a slight sweetness spreads softly in the mouth, and the aftertaste is sharp and not clingy. It is a very nice and refreshing aftertaste, and does not feel clingy. I felt happy all at once 🥰.
Sake is so deep 🍶.
Good evening, Yenomi!
Congratulations on your Fukui ㊗️ 🎉We had a different Tsuneyama a while ago 😋 and it was also delicious, but this one is also delicious and makes us feel happy! I'd love to try it!
Good evening Jay & Nobby, ☺️
Thanks for your comment!
Tsuneyama is delicious - I'm sure Jay & Nobby would like it 😄.
In fact, we had one last glass left this evening and it was sweet and delicious! I hope you will drink it!
It's been a while since I've had a regular Tsuneyama!
I've been drinking a lot of sweet sake lately, so the fine dryness of Tsuneyama really hits home. ☺️
The aroma is somewhere between modern and classic, and when served cold, it is dry and easy to drink with little sweetness!
The sweetness increases as it gets closer to chilled.
A standard that shows off Tsuneyama's individuality!
Should have been bottled in a 4-ounce bottle at least!
First drink of the trip to Fukui 🍶.
The first drink of the trip was Fukui sake 😀.
I don't know how many drinks I can go for, but as many as I can 💪.
After this we have to go to the Fukui castle ruins first for now😅.

It is super dry in terms of specs, but it is not that dry due to the colorful bouquet💐-like topping aroma and the light nigori lees.
The balance between umami and spiciness is very good, and the characteristic sharpness is expressed very well as I don't feel much acidity, which is not my strong point 🥰.
This is a type of dry sake that I have never had before, and if it is released again next year, I would love to repeat it: ‼️
Wadaya, please keep up the good work next year 😄😄
Termat, this is my first time drinking Tsuneyama and I really enjoyed this bottle 😋 I thought it was very rare to find such a super dry wine with such a fruity aroma!
Hello, Chanmaya P. 😃
Tsuneyama! Another one we also drank for the first time this year and it became our favorite 🤗I love fruity dry 😋 I'd love to try it!
Jay & Nobby, that's right: ‼️
To be honest, I hadn't paid any attention to this brand before, but I realized once again that the good thing about the hanpukai is the opportunity to drink this kind of thing 😄.
Here, I've had it! and just a picture
I was taking pictures....
I asked for it to go with crab and heshiko.
It was a well balanced sake, not too sweet and not too light 🍶.
It was the right choice to match it with crab and heshiko! I remember thinking that 🦀.
A bottle of Wadaya Hanpukai. This is the first time to drink this sake brewery. It is dry but has a little sweetness due to its light nigori, and is well balanced.
