Tonight's accompaniment is a bottle of this one. I saw it at a liquor store and couldn't resist buying it. I have had it at a bar, but this is the first time I have bought it from a KID. When I opened the bottle, it had a gorgeous ginjo aroma. The aroma is fruity and lovely. In the mouth, it is not as sweet as the aroma, but has a gentle taste. The moderate sweetness is followed by a refreshing acidity, and it all comes together nicely. It is delicious...it goes well with wakame seaweed and deep-fried tofu with mentsuyu sauce, which gives it a more refreshing taste. With the pickled vegetables with strong acidity, the sake becomes watery, and it might be a waste of sake. When paired with bacon/garlic sauteed broccoli with parmesan cheese, you can taste the sweetness...after the main dish of dried hokke, the fruity and sweetness increases and it goes really well. I found a great sake at a great price!
