Purchased because of the retro label.
It has a fruity aroma and sweetness.
The aftertaste is refreshing and smooth.
It was a little sweeter than I prefer, but it was still a delicious Niigata sake.
When heated, the sweetness was reduced and the taste was closer to what I like!
Personal Satisfaction: ★★☆☆☆☆
Purchased items for the trip to Niigata 🍶.
I was attracted by the winter-only version 🤤.
It has a youthful freshness and a nice crispness from the Ihyakumangoku 💭💭💭.
Slightly effervescent and lightly cloudy. The mouthfeel is refreshing. It is sweet with an elegant acidity. The aftertaste is not harsh, making it a perfect sake.

Rumored to be made with wine yeast, this sake was featured in Kami no Shizuku.
In a word, I did not feel the slightest hint of wineiness. Rather, there is a nice aroma of rice, but it has a negative aroma like the smell of steamed shoes, which gives a strange impression.
The taste was not bad by any means, but it was a unique sake with a strong lactic acidity and a slight acetic acidity. I do not like the lingering taste that sticks to the tongue.
On its own, it is a bit peculiar, but it goes well with food, and the lingering aftertaste is not bothersome.
However, since it differs slightly from other people's comments, it is possible that the taste has changed since it was first introduced to the public, or that it was made slightly differently this year.
We would love to hear your opinions.
Overall 9 (out of 10)
This is my first time drinking this sake 🍶.
This sake was sold as a set with hana-yosu😅.
According to the description.
"Natural flavor and juicy acidity on the tongue.
It has a noble fruit aroma reminiscent of grapefruit and a light taste with a delicate, cool sweetness."
😃.
Delicious ❣️😋
Light and dry 👍.
Slightly tangy and spicy, I see, grapefruit-like acidity + astringency, and a quietly supportive sweetness.
And 14 degrees of tenderness👍😋.
The sake sold as a set with Hana-yosu is very good ❣️😋
I had it chilled.
I was surprised by the aroma of the sake.
-Aroma: Pungent and a little bit of ginjo aroma👍
-The aroma is a bit pungent and has a slight pungency that passes through the nose.

I thought the aroma would be dry. We toasted together and said "Yum! ❤️Thanks for the toast of grilled fried tofu with green onion sauce, followed by yakiniku 🙌I know I said we should limit ourselves to one cup a day, but every day is an exception 😂because it's so delicious I can't stop 🥰.
Good evening, shinsaku3.
Echigo Tsurukame is delicious ⤴️
I've only tasted it when choosing a gift sake, but I remember it being beautiful and delicious ✨.
I'd like to try it at home and savor it 😊.
Good evening, ma-ki-😃.
It was delicious ❗️😋
It was a chance encounter this time, but it was a hit 😃.
Oh yes! I think the word "beautiful" fits me well too 😋.
I'd like to try other brands as well 👍Add to my ❗️ list!
Good evening, shinsaku3-san and Pekho-san 🌙
Koshizo da ✨is delicious 😋.
Not many stores in my area carry it, but I found a new sake the other day and bought it 😚 I'm more excited to read your review 😆.
Good morning, Kotaro 😃😃.
Thank you for your comment 😊
This is the first time I have had Koshikatsu and it was delicious 😋👍.
I see you got the new sake👍.
We too will go to the liquor store to look for some 😃🚗.
Hi shinsaku3 & Pekho 😃.
It's delicious face to face! I'm glad to know that the partner of Hahoyo is also good 👍Echigo Tsurukame was drunk about a year ago, but I want to revisit it! I would like to have a chance to try it again!
Hi shinsaku3 & Pekho 🐦.
I feel like I'm getting a good set of drinks 😆 I was going to drink at the event tomorrow but I couldn't make it 😢 hope I can find it somewhere 🥹.
At home drinking.
Echigo Tsurukame wine yeast brewed🍷.
It has a gentle sweet and sour taste as if you were drinking wine.

The acidity and the sake flavor coexist well. It is like a sake white wine, and the package is true to its name. It would go well with Japanese potato salad or other light snacks.
I bought it after drinking it at Ponshukan in Niigata and liking it.
It is very sweet, like amazake. The aroma was like bread (very subjective).
I would like to repeat it even if I have to order it!
