HIKKAMI Junmai Aki-agari
Made from 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture, fire-aged.
Hikkami is famous as a sake that goes well with sushi, but this time we tried the "Autumn Agari" version.
The aroma is subdued, with lychee-like nuances.
Mild on the palate with no tanginess.
The mid-palate has a clear acidity and a subtle umami flavor.
The aftertaste is clear with a hint of bitterness and acidity.
Overall, it is mild and mild.
It was a bit out of place with sashimi, but it was a perfect marriage with vinegared dishes.
Maybe the "match with sushi" is the "vinegared rice" element...?
Preferred score: 7.0/10
Aroma: 1.5｜Mouthfeel: 1.0｜Medium: 1.0｜Final taste: 1.5｜Price: 2.0
→ I realized again how difficult it is to make a marriage with autumn sake. But that is also the fun of sake 🍁.
→ Now that I know what type my wife and father-in-law like, I decided not to ask for scores in the future.

P.S.
I paired it with white fish sashimi, but maybe an oily fish would be a good match?

Good morning, Kozhikozy 😃.
We also had it the year before last 😋It's soft and tasty rather than sharp and crisp! We tend to pair it with red meat sashimi 🧐 but we think everything is good 😄.
