I wanted to buy a certain sake, so I went on an expedition to Shiga 🚃 and bought it at Kintetsu Department Store while visiting a liquor store in Kusatsu. I recommend it because it covers almost all the sake breweries in Shiga Prefecture. I was surprised to see that they had all of the Kinkame's nama sake, including the red sake made from unpolished rice 😯.
I had never seen Tomitsuru and Suzukabuto on sale before.
I bought a few other bottles 😄.
I think the Aichi brewery of Tomitsuru will be there during the GW season, so I might go there.
The production of Tereikawa is quite small, so it is only sold at the brewery's direct sales outlet, Kintetsu Department Store in Kusatsu, or Nishimoto Sake Shop in Kyoto.
It has a thick and mild taste. It smells like Shaoxing sake or aged sake. The taste itself is not matured. It tastes strange. The second half has a strong alcohol taste. It tastes like an alcoholic drink.
I have bitter memories of a Junmai Daiginjo I bought before that had a strong off-flavor and I couldn't drink it all...
Some reviewers say that this sake has a fruity aroma, but I wonder if I'm missing something. I wonder if they are packing old wine? It smells so good that I wonder if it's filled with old wine🤪.
I think the fruity flavor came out a few days after opening the bottle. I think it might be sweeter when drunk with food than on its own.

Good evening, bouken!
I've only seen Ceiling River once at the Shiga Sake Fair or something, so that's great!

Good evening, Pon-chan.
I found a variety of Tomekawa at the Kintetsu Department Store in front of Kusatsu Station 😋.

Good morning.
I guess Osaka is still too far away for me to go to TEREIKAWA.
Kinkame, Suzukabuto, and Teirogawa are heaven for me, but Kusatsu is a bit far away.

Good morning, Shinjo-san.
I didn't find any Tekirogawa at liquor stores in Kusatsu city, so there might not be many places where you can buy it in Shiga.... I found some Kiaranou and Kou no Izumi too!
