くるまや
It's been a while since I drank this, Tsuru no Tomo. It's good. It has a gorgeous aroma of koji and a hint of rice flavor, but it is soft on the palate and has no peculiarities. It is a very beautiful sake, as is typical of Niigata Danrei. This sense of balance in taste and quality is priced at just over 1,000 yen for a four-pack. You can feel the spirit. This is the kind of thing that shows off the skill of a brewery... I take my hat off to them. It tastes even better than a bad high-class daiginjo. I hope that it doesn't become too famous and that they continue to make this kind of sake.
