It has a subtle sweetness followed by a crisp, refreshing bitterness, and although it is 18 degrees, I thought it was a delicious, easy-to-drink sake that could easily be paired with meals.
On the way home from the pairing, we decided to have a little more to drink, so we came to Hirome Market 😊.
Not many tourists here today 😊.
First, we went to our favorite restaurant to check the fatty bonito...
It didn't look fatty, so I decided to have it tataki 😆.
Sake was a definite Kurei 😊.
This is the one after all ☝️
It's delicious 😆.
