marumaruo
Walking around during the day and enjoying the cherry blossoms.
It's spring. Pollen is so heavy, though.
This light nigori sake, which is only available during the cherry blossom season, is a freshly squeezed light nigori based on Yamadanishiki. This is the sakura version of Sengoku's handwritten label, which I had been looking forward to drinking whenever I could. It is said to have more sweetness and acidity than last year.
The sweetness and gasiness are pleasantly refreshing. It is soft on the palate and somehow seems to make you feel tender... It goes well with soramame, wakatake mushroom stew, firefly squid, boiled rape blossoms, and other spring dishes with a slightly bitter taste!
