KuriDrank w G, E, & J at Fushimi Sake Village. Delicious!
The sake’s name is a combo of miyako, “ancient capital,” & tsuru, “crane.” The portmanteau of miyako and tsuru recalls the 1,000-year span when Kyoto was the cultural, artistic, & political capital of Japan.
A smaller Fushimi breweries, Miyakotsuru has long had ties with the Tamba region of Kyoto, from which their brewers historically came. They preserve traditional sake-making skills, and aspire to the crane’s longevity & elegance.
