Tonight's accompaniment is a bottle of this one. When the bottle is opened, it has a slightly sweet aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel it on the tip of your tongue. It has a robust taste, with a sourness followed by bitterness. It is different from when we tasted it. I thought it would be more fragrant and easy to drink. A sprinkle of salt on the expensive tomatoes I received as a gift brings out the sweetness and umami of the sake, and it goes well with it. The cucumber and pork with ume plum paste also brought out the sweetness, but the bitterness did not disappear. Stir-fried summer vegetables and pork also go well with sake, as the sake helps to wash away the oil, but the bitterness is still there. To counter the bitterness, I poured olive oil over the tomatoes, and bingo! The bitterness of the sake was calmed down and the dish turned out to be delicious! I enjoyed the marriages today as well!
