The other day, I attended a local beer festival in Niigata, and this is the beer I bought at Niigata station on my way home. It's been a long time since I've had Tsurukame.
Contrary to my expectation, it has a lot of sweetness and umami derived from rice. It seems to be low alcohol at 10%, but the voluptuousness doesn't make it seem so low. I thought it was interesting, but it ran out before I could finish it, because it was in cans.
Echigo Tsurukame/Wine yeast brewed Junmai Ginjo-shu
I found it at home, lol (my wife bought it).
What is wine yeast brewing...? I took a sip and thought "what's a wine yeast brewed sake?
Wow, this is so good!
It has a sweetness that is typical of sake, but it also has some acidity, but it's refreshing and pleasant to the palate.
The alcohol content is low at 12 degrees, so you can't help but drink too much.
Recommended for women!
Citrusy aroma with high acidity and rice flavor.
Bitter taste from the acidity and sweetness, and the umami of the rice spread with the gas.
The image of green tangerine comes to mind as the comment says it is reminiscent of summer tangerines.
The temperature is 10 degrees Celsius, which is very light for summer, and it will be gone soon!
Summer festival of the neighborhood association!
As a committee member, he is in charge of sound and keeps the music flowing on the live stage and in the hall.
This year, the music was Hawaiian.
It was too hot, but the drinks tasted great after the show!
It was the best. The nostalgic summer songs were also very touching.
Echigo-Tsurukame is a sake brewed with wine yeast,
Canned low-alcohol 10% sake!
The label looks more like wine than sake, like an old Western woodblock print.
Sweet aroma with fruity fruitiness like white grapes,
Refreshing acidity,
Sweet and sour and juicy,
Chilled well, it is light and easy to drink.
Light and easy to drink,
Good to carry around, can is good.
Delicious!

The carbonation is so strong that you have to be careful when opening it.
It is a nigori, or hazy sake, and the carbonation is very strong.
It is fruity and very tasty, with a hint of the acidity of the sake's yeast yeast yeast.
