This one, whose name means "new life," is my companion for this evening. When the bottle is opened, the crown makes a nice popping sound. The sweet ginjo aroma is fresh and fruity. The excitement never stops. In the mouth, it is like a sweet Riesling wine. The sweetness spreads on the palate, followed by sourness and a slight bitterness. The balance of the wine is so good that when you swallow it, you will forget that you have drunk it. If you drink it in a white wine glass, the sharpness remains and the bitterness disappears, which I prefer. The best combination with homemade ankou ponzu vinegar...refreshing sweet water. I can't stop now! The soaked sweet peppers complement the sweetness of the sake because of the bitterness of the ingredients. Um~♪ The main dish is simmered sea bream. The sweet flavor of the sake is not overpowered by the sweetness of the sake, which makes it more refreshing and irresistible. When paired with the smoky, slightly sweet Iburi ginger, the weak bitterness returns, resetting the palate. This is great too. Omachi is the best! It is a wonderful sake!
