そめぞう
Weekend! Hot and humid, already summer.
Sake series sent from Yuzawa, chilled Mantis Shozu. Mantis Sho, one of the 72 signs of the season. If it were true, it would be a little earlier, in early June, which fits the calendar. It is right around this time of year that the brewery conducts a sake tasting of the sake brewed, and the name of the sake has "nakimikiri" in it.
I thought it would be refreshing because of the season, but it has a strong umami and aroma with a bitter aftertaste. It has a bitter aftertaste. This is a good match for strong-flavored snacks.
We are having it with grilled black soybeans, marinated cherry tomatoes with balsamic vinegar, and lightly salted cod roe. It goes well with raw cod roe!
It seems to be an all-around temperature drink, but I think I'll finish it in a gachibi.
