Tonight's accompaniment is a bottle of this one. When the bottle is opened, it has a sweet, full-bodied ginjo aroma. It is exciting. In the mouth, you can feel the sweetness as it is in the aroma, and I wonder if it is the bitterness that brings out the sharp aftertaste. When paired with a kale salad, it is a nice way to shed the astringency of the salad and eliminate the bitterness of the sake. After the Spanish mackerel and mushrooms sauteed in mirin soy sauce with butter, the sweetness is enhanced and the acidity refreshes the palate. It's good. I think the bitter taste will be emphasized with pickles of lotus root. When I combine it with potato and chicken in butter and our rosemary roast, the fat of the butter and the savory flavor of the roast strengthens the sweetness of the sake, and it is irresistibly delicious.
