Tonight's accompaniment is this one with a very distinctive label. When you open the bottle, you will find a fruity aroma. The taste is complex in the mouth. It starts out dry, but the umami of rice and a slight sweetness follow, and when swallowed, a bitter taste lingers in the throat. It is bitter, haha. The bean sprout namul is good because the savory sesame oil softens the bitterness and enhances the sweetness. The okra and tomato with mentsuyu is also bitter. This bitterness is tough, but dried firefly squid goes well with it. Yaki-Mezashi snacks are quite bitter themselves, so they sweeten the sake. It was a very difficult sake to drink!
