“I first sipped this sake from an ochoko. The cedar aroma reminded me of Japan. Next I drank this sake from a cedar cup, which boosted the cedar aroma and added a silky texture. Then I filled a cedar masu to the brim. Wow! What a cedar bomb.”
“Very unique! This was my introduction to Taru sake and is still my favorite of the type. Served warm on a cold day, it’s aromatics are like a blanket.”
“This was the first Taru (Cedar Cask) sake have tried. It was very clean with a great aroma, and a wonderful taste. I added it again to a later order. I am looking forward to comparing with other taru sakes.”
“I have an obsession with "taru" sakes. I find this one to be true to the taru flavor. At room temperature the aromatics from the cedar are evident and superb. I tried this chilled and room temperature and it is definitely more exciting on the palette at room temperature. Its drier than most other taru sakes I've tried but not overly so. I like that it comes in big bottle as a lot of taru sakes seem only to come in small bottles.
I do hope Tippsy will at some point stock Yoshino Taru Sake. It ranks among the best in my opinion but this one is very similar.”
Hi Larry,
Thank you so much for your review!
Choryo “Yoshinosugi no Taru Sake” is sweet and clean sake.
This sake holds an enchanting woody aroma and taste because it was made with Taru which is pictured on the label that the men making it.
This sake must be pair with grilled meat. If you like this sake, you might also like Zuiyo “Hojun Junmai”.
