Today's accompaniment is the "Autumn Shako" that my wife bought at the Inyu morning market.
When I ate it in Honshu as a sushi dish, I said to myself, "Why is this fish in here?
When I ate it with sushi items in Honshu, I was like, "Why is this stuff in here?" And that too...
I had eaten it in expensive sushi restaurants in Honshu, and I was like, "Why is this fish in my sushi?
It was so delicious that it overturned my impression of "Why is this fish included in sushi?
Oh, and sake to go with it!
This is the third bottle that my wife brought back from her Izumo-taisha pilgrimage!
This is really good, with a clear fruit aroma!
It is sweet despite the sake level of +2,
It has a penetrating flavor, and it doesn't feel like alcohol at all!
It is a fresh drink without feeling like alcohol at all!
The problem is that the distributor is in Asahikawa during the snowy season,
It's hard to drive 130km one way!

On the way home, I asked what sake they recommended to go with sashimi, and I bought this one from among the three choices they offered. It was delicious, with a slightly floral aroma, a subtle sweetness in the mouth, and the perfect amount of spiciness from the umami.
It has a mild, yet strong umami flavor that is uncharacteristic of Shimane sake, and has no strange peculiarities, making it a perfect match.
It is similar to Kaygetsu, but the aftertaste is not spicy and fades away quickly, giving the impression of being more gentle.
If you drink it blind, you would never think it was made in Shimane, and for better or worse, it is a very un-Shimane-like sake.
It is really delicious.
Congratulations to Taisha High School! Shimane sake at
Tangy and elegant with a hint of acidity!
Unfiltered raw sake, but lighter than thick!
Slightly lactic acid accent
I bought this brand because I had never seen it before at a produce market I was visiting.
Sweet aroma and taste: ☺️
It has a lingering aftertaste and sweetness from the first sip, but I don't think it's that much of a seduction.
It's a moderate food sake.
It has a slightly rich flavor for those who like sake.
It is also good warmed up in the cold season.
