Tsurunotomo Betsusen is a special-selection grade sake from Hikiki Shuzo in Niigata City, a small brewery established in 1832 that distributes primarily within the local Uchino-cho neighborhood. Known for its intentionally limited distribution and old-fashioned, unpolished character, Tsurunotomo Betsusen offers a gentle fruity aroma with a soft, full-flavored taste and clean finish rooted in Niigata's tradition of light, dry brewing. Its near-mythical local-only status has earned it a devoted following among Niigata sake enthusiasts.
