🍶This is a memorable brand that brings back fond memories of the days when I learned the joy of selecting sake by examining it at a private liquor store. Everything was cool to me back then: the blue of the bottle, the cool and simple swordfish design, the stellar taste that I had never heard of before. I have just met it again in my collection of Akita🎆 sake, and it is still steely cool now that I've been drinking it for a while. The deep umami that sinks in delicious chilled.
It is 🦩"Tsuru" kore ③.
