Junmai Ginjo Yuri from Tsurunoe Sake Brewery in Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima Prefecture.
It is a collaboration of a mother who is a sake brewing engineer and her daughter who majored in yeast science, and Yuri is her daughter's name. That episode alone is enough to make you want to drink it.
The first time I drank it was at the store, and my first impression was of a soft, feminine sake!
I happened to get one of the few arrivals this time. It is still a sake like a woman's tenderness. It has a faint sweet aroma like amazake, and when you put it in your mouth, the sourness and sweetness rise softly and then fade away nicely. It leaves a fruity taste like after eating strawberries.
The pale blue sake bottle is also beautiful. Everything is not overdone in a good way, it is a nice sake.
