The Niigata special continues. Indeed, it is a perfect everyday staple at a reasonable price. It may not be spectacular, but it is a true Niigata sake, faithful to the basics, with a stable taste that never misses the mark. I would buy it again. ↓ Excerpt At first glance, it looks like a typical summer product, but this is Tsururei. But that's not what it is. This sake is bottled in its unpasteurized form during the coldest months of January and March. It is then aged in ice in a special refrigerator at -5 degrees Celsius before being shipped. Although it looks like a summer sake, it is actually a year-round product. The rice used is Niigata Prefecture's original "Koshitanrei" rice suitable for sake brewing. It is designed not only to be refreshing, but also to be well-balanced in taste.
