We tried to see which sake would go best with mackerel simmered in miso. We tried three different sake: Eiheiji Hakuryu Junmai Daiginjo, Houou Mita Moustache Ban Junmai Daiginjo, and Kikuhime Yamahai Junmai. Kikuhime won hands down. The concentrated flavor and fatty taste of mackerel and the salty taste of miso harmonize with the rich Kikuhime. It is delicious.

Good evening, Mr. Shouting Butterfly! The combination with saba-miso (mackerel miso) sounds delicious.
Kikuhime Yamahai has even more flavor when heated, so give it a try when the weather cools down a little more!

Hi Jiji-san! I'm sure the season for heated sake will be here soon 🍶, but I'm going to try heated Kikuhime tonight right away 😂.

Good evening, Mr. Shouting Butterfly. I am glad to hear that you were able to share a delicious way to drink 😆 Kikuhime Yamahai seems to go well with mackerel miso, broiled eel, and slightly fatty rice! I've been wanting to drink it for a long time after writing this.
