A sake I had never tried before at a tasting at Imanishi Seibei Shoten in Nara. They chose it for the tasting list for people who are not familiar with Japanese sake because the number of foreign tourists has been increasing due to the Corona relaxation. As you can see in the picture, the background to the completion of this sake makes it even more enjoyable, as it brings up many stories when you drink it. Harushika is famous for its super dry taste, but this one is sweet and fruity with a slight sourness. It is like a dessert wine for sake. Personally, I think it is better to drink it chilled. I guess it depends on your taste. The staff at the brewery told me that it goes well with smoked salmon. So this time, instead of Japanese food, I tried to match it with some side dishes that would go well with the wine.

Smoked salmon is a good match, as they say. Not the best pairing, but certainly a good match and delicious. The prosciutto salad (strawberry vinegar) is neither good nor bad. But it is also a natural sake drinker.

I mean, it is amazing to forget that it is sake.

The marinated sardines don't go well with this dish. The fish smell is noticeable. Not that it's not good, but I don't enjoy it. This is a dry white wine.

I'm afraid of sweet sake. Even though it was a four-pack bottle, I finished it in one sitting. I went to bed on the sofa.
