ヒラッチョ
Today's supper was katsudon (pork cutlet served on top of a bowl of rice).
I made it in a large frying pan and shared it with my daughter.
I didn't serve it with rice but with sake, so it was either simmered pork cutlet or simmered pork cutlet with miso soup.

It has a different direction from Niigata's light and dry sake, but it is a good sake that has a good taste of rice rather than just a modern sake, and has the nostalgia of a mid-meal drink by making use of acidity.
This is Tatsumi Seishukudo's original orikara-nama sake.
It is rather dry and sharp, but the fizziness, acidity, and umami are irresistible.
