This sake is limited to Fushimizu Sake Brewery Alley.
I bought it because Tsurumasa Shuzo is discontinuing its business and will no longer be able to drink it in the future. Tsurumasa Sake was originally a commissioned brewer😅.
Tsurumasa Shuzo Brewery was under the umbrella of Nippon Shuzui Hanbai, and its introduction page has been removed from the official website of Nippon Shuzui Hanbai, so it seems that it is really over 😢.
Gorgeous ginjo aroma. Beautiful and fruity. Sweet and spicy. I think it's the type of sake that everyone can enjoy. The printed bottle is very beautiful.
The regular price is about 3,400 yen and they are getting rid of stock? I was able to buy it for around 2,000 yen, but that's too expensive. Sake made with celebratory rice is expensive in general, though...
Originally, Tsuru-Masamune, Toyo-Shuku, Keicho, and Furisode were all brewed together at the sacred brewery, right? I think I read something about each brewery selecting ingredients and specifications for their brewing.
Tsuru Masamune is practically out of business, Furisode is out of business and the brand name was transferred to Kitagawa Honke. Mukojima Shuzo, the brewer of Furisode, was bought out and renamed Hibi Brewery.

I saw your review and did a search...the company, brand, and brewer have changed...it's hard to keep going. It's a sad thing 😢 Thanks for the info 🙏.

Hello Ponchan 😃
It was a wholesaler-affiliated brewery, so I wonder if it became more difficult because of the loss of demand from restaurants. I thought so 😥I see from the summary that it seems to be a brewery that has had its twists and turns....
