Japanese people are fond of living things. Japanese people are fond of living creatures. Names of alcoholic beverages include dragons, tigers, dragonflies, cicadas, butterflies, and so on. As an aside, it is said that only in Japan do people love insects. In addition, plants such as chrysanthemums and cherry blossoms are also used in sake names. Among these, cranes and turtles are often used as symbols of happiness, but cranes seem to be used more often than turtles. And the individual name "Manazuru. This is wonderful.
The name alone is wonderful, but the sake is also very authentic. It has a mellow mouthfeel and a delicious fall flavor. It is even better when heated. It has more sweetness and more umami. It is a perfect match for autumnal delicacies. It also has the crispness typical of Miyamanishiki.
By the way, cranes are the king, Hakutsuru, Kamotsuru, Kagatsuru, and many others come to mind, but turtles are Kamerei, Kameizumi, Kame-no-umi, and others.

Hi WOM 🐦.
I thought there might be a lot of turtles, but when you put it that way, cranes come out more 😆.
Turtle, turtle... new turtle and first turtle!

Good evening, WOM 😃.
Yes! It seems that Japan is the only country that keeps insects!
And you're right 🤔I can't think of any sake 🍶 with a turtle attached to it... except for Pon-chan's addition 🧐.

Thanks Pon, 😊Chappie told me that there are 122 cases of cranes and more than 10 cases of turtles. Is the reason for this difference because of their position in the story, e.g., crane's position in the story, turtle in Urashima Taro, etc.? The swamp seems to be getting deeper. There were both river cranes and river turtles.

Thanks, Jay & Nobby! Ace Senkou in Tochigi is also a crane. In the cranes vs. tortoises, are cranes the best in number? There are also Hakutsuru and Sawanotsuru, cranes in quantity? There are many ways to enjoy sake, including insects, and I feel like I've found another swamp. Oh, there is the legendary Kamikame.
