I was not satisfied with the sake pairing, so I had to finish my last glass. It was a Murayu Tokiwa Label Kameguchidori, a sake with which I am not privy to much information.
It has an elegant sweetness and a clean aftertaste, so it is quite drinkable.
Thank you very much.

This is the first Murayu I was able to drink at home.
Unlike its image, it has a free-spirited taste with sweet and sour flavors that spread lightly.
It is like a wine.
On the second day, it has a softness like a pear, and the yankiness felt on the first day seems to have calmed down.
The taste was unexpected for me, but I would like to repeat it.
The locally grown peanuts 🥜 that I buy every year at the JA's weekly vegetable sale turned out to be delicious. Boiled in salt went well with Murayu.
It has a characteristic nutty, caramel-like sweet and savory taste. There was also a slight acidity, and the flavor spread gently and was enjoyed slowly. Delicious.
I couldn't really taste it when it was cold, so I returned it to cold at room temperature and it was outstanding. It was also good lukewarm👍.
It grows to a sweet flavor with a sense of fresh ripeness, retaining the Wasanbon-like sweetness that is typical of Murayusuke.
The citrusy acidity and bitterness are also very beautifully woven together.

Second kind today.
First sip. Aromatic and sweet. The sweetness rushes into the mouth at once. It smells like banana.
Second sip. The sweetness becomes a bit gentler, and the sharpness comes out, making it easier to drink.
