It had been a while since I had a chance to drink sake with friends, and this was the sake I brought. I had a hard time deciding what kind of sake to bring, but I chose a refreshing dry sake because they were the polar opposites of an extreme drinker and someone who is not used to drinking.
From the moment it was opened, it had a gaseous feeling that was hard to believe it was fire-added, and you could feel it as freshness when you sipped it.
The aroma was clear and fresh, with a hint of muscat, grape-like astringency, and a bitterness similar to citrus fruits.
As the temperature rises, a banana-like aroma filled with sake-like characteristics peeks out. It is wonderful to be able to enjoy the difference in taste even with changes in temperature.
It is a clear, dry sake that goes down well with snacks, and some people drank it very fast, saying it was delicious.
As was the case with Morishima, which I drank just before, this sake is excellent as a food sake, so I personally like to pair it with fish. It goes well with grilled fish, sashimi, or anything else.
I've never tried it with grilled meat or spare ribs, but I think it might work with them too..! I don't think it would go well with stew.
