For the record only😊
Drinking with my senpai.
I ordered sashimi for two, but this was for one 😅It's delicious, so no problem ❗️
The hikakami, not too sweet, but still aromatic in the mouth, went well with the sashimi 😉.
(No photo because we got it at the store.) It has a clean dry taste with a subtle sweet aftertaste. I paired it with wasabi ponzu (Japanese horseradish ponzu sauce) with mizu-tako (octopus) and watercress, and it went very well with it. Lovely.
On the label, there is a cute picture of the production process of [Aki-agari]. I guess it takes a lot of time and effort to get the deep, rich flavor. with duck hot pot 🦆 (the dark broth keeps the sake flowing)
In the mouth, there is zero resistance.
It feels like "polished water" in the mouth.
From there, the sweetness and umami of the rice spreads gently,
The final taste is beautiful and lingering.
This sense of clarity and satisfaction is reminiscent of "Jyushiyo" in its perfection.
It is best when poured with sashimi.
Sorry, actually it was still there.
Post-birthday celebration, a small restaurant in Joetsu City (7).
Hidakami is well-known for its sake that goes well with sashimi.
It has a light alcohol taste with a spiciness and sharpness, while giving a taste of rice.
It is described as super dry, but it is more like refreshing and crisp.
It is a perfect sake for sashimi and as a food sake.
