I bought these when I went back to my parents' house in Saga! I carefully selected 4 bottles after consulting with the staff of the shop. It's about a 5-minute walk from Saga Station. It is a 5-minute walk from Saga station and the shop has a good selection of Saga sake and the staff loves sake. 😄.
The first one is Yukihime which the shopkeeper recommended. I will report the other 3 bottles later❗️.
It starts with a ginjo aroma, and when you drink it, you feel a soft sweetness like a pear, but then the bitterness passes over your tongue. It is more refreshing than I expected, and the balance of sweetness and bitterness is good. However, I personally feel that it becomes a little sweet when I keep drinking it.
This time, I paired it with squid siumai. The smooth texture of the squid siumai and the sweetness and umami of the sake mix gently to create a good harmony. That's Saga for you!
