New Year's sake, now being consumed. This time it is Shirataki Shuzo's Uonuma. I bought a bottle at my parents' house, but they had some left over. As is typical of Niigata, it is light and dry, but has a strong umami flavor. There is also a hint of sweetness in the distance. In general, it's not as bad as other tsumami, and it's good even without them. The best thing about this sake is that when it is heated up, it has an aroma and sweetness like amazake, and its face changes at once.
I've got a bottle of this sake, so I think I'll have a sake nabe with it. I wonder if seafood would go well with it. Cod would be a good choice.... I'm thinking pork, Chinese cabbage, green onion, and shimeji or enoki mushrooms. Salt or light soy sauce. It looks delicious enough just by itself. I'm looking forward to it.
