Toranoko

"Toranoko" is a local sake nurtured in Ureshino, a town of tea and hot springs. Brewed in an environment blessed with regional resources of Ureshino Onsen and Ureshino Tea, it has been familiar as a souvenir of the hot spring town for many years. It features a plump flavor that makes use of the umami of rice, and a deep sake quality that can be enjoyed both warm and cold. It goes well with local ingredients, especially hot spring boiled tofu and seafood, and is a brand that nestles close to Ureshino's food culture.
