Hikakami Super Dry Junmai Sake
Sake made for sushi
Dry but not sharp. Delicious.
I served it with a bowl of sea bream.
Iburi goko (pickled ginger) is used as a secret ingredient.
And five pieces of nigiri.
Sea bream
Seared sardine
horse mackerel
fatty fish
Kasugo (small sea bream)
Good with kabosu
Lunchtime drinking at Sake Bar Nami in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Sweet aroma wafting gently.
This junmai sake has a moderately concentrated and juicy flavor, and the finish is dignified and acidic to tighten the taste. Delicious. ❗️
Today is sobriety day. But since dinner was bonito sashimi, I bought a bottle of Hidakami "Yasuke" for my wife and father-in-law. I have had it before so I'll hold off and post it as an evaluation note.
👩🦰 Wife: 7/10 "A little sweet?" Impression. I wonder if the umami was perceived as sweetness. Aroma of ginjo?
👨🦳 Father-in-law: 8/10 "Excellent", then just barely "Superior". Good!
Hi Kozhikozhi 😃
I can't believe you bought Hidakami-san to go with your entrée while you yourself are abstaining from alcohol! That's a great mentality 🤗.
And your wife finds Hidakami dry taste sweet! You are a strong man 😁Noby and I seem to have the same taste!
Hi Jay & Nobby! Thank you for your comments!
Even if you can't drink, I'd be happy if you enjoy my choice of alcohol. My wife and I have different tastes and preferences, so maybe that's what it comes down to... lol.
