It's September and I bought summer sake at the end of the summer because the ice breakers I came across at the store were so good.
Mellow sake. The aroma is gorgeous and the juicy, fruit-like sweetness is well pronounced! The time spent drinking it with ice and the sound of the cara-cara-cara is very calming.
Sake Pairing 1
○Thick Fried Bitter Gourd Chanpuru ⭐️
I had it lightly seasoned with only salt and soy sauce, so I think it didn't go well with the well-seasoned ice breaker. Miso flavor or other rich flavor would be good.
Steamed chicken and kneaded plums ⭐️⭐️⭐️
The combination of the sourness of the ume plum and the richness of the icebreaker made for a mildly sweet dish. I think the combination of the sourness of the ume and the richness of the icebreaker turned it into a gentle sweetness! Ultimately, the kneaded ume alone makes an icebreaker snack! LOL!
○○Cold baked sweet potato ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I wonder if they wouldn't go together? I thought it would, but it has a savory caramel-like sweet richness and goes quite well with it!
As a supplementary note, the sweeter Silk Sweet (sticky type) goes better with it than Beni Kogane (dusty type).
Super Cup Vanilla ⭐️
I thought, "What if...? The sweetness of the vanilla won out. I wonder if it would be different if it was heated up?
