山廃純米
The first drink of the new year was a bottle of wine I bought at OK Isehara at the end of the year (or was it before Christmas?). I bought it at OK Isehara store at the end of the year. First of all, the way to drink it is very unique. The label said it should be drunk at a temperature lower than 5℃ or higher than 50℃, so I chilled it. First of all, the color of the sake was amber-red, which made me wonder if it was a long-aged sake. The flavor is sweet and sour with a hint of sherry. The flavor is sweet and sour with a hint of sherry? It was sweet and sour, and seemed like a sherry or Daruma Masamune. It was also sweet and sour, like a sherry or a Daruma Masamune.

Food pairing seems to be quite selective...this time, I paired it with salmon marinated in malted rice. We wish all the users of "sake-no-wa" the best of luck as we sip this year's sake, hoping to find another wonderful bottle.
A day later, today (1/4), I had it halfway between hot and tobikiri (a kind of warmed sake). It tastes like a cider without the carbonation. Personally, I prefer it heated.
