I wondered what would go well with the combination of sardine simmered in ume plum and shime saba (mackerel) 🤔This time, I chose this one that came back with me from my recent business trip to Aomori. This is a newly launched brand after the disappearance of "Jyobari". I don't know if nigori sake and blue fish go well together, but as the name of this sake suggests, I gave it a try 😁.
Let's start with the standing aroma. It looks and smells like a refreshing lactic acid bacteria drink. It has a crisp aftertaste with a fair amount of sourness in the mouth. It tastes like nigori sake as I imagine it.
I started with sardine stewed in ume plum paste. The combination of the fatty sardines and the sourness of the ume plum with the nigori sake made it smooth to the palate. Delicious🙆.
Next, the shime saba (mackerel). According to Hoshikawa Fish Restaurant, where I usually go, the fish is not vinegared, so the sashimi is almost raw. The tokoro has a strong flavor that does not lose out to the unique flavor of blue fish, and their respective tastes overlap to create a synergistic effect. This is also good👍.
I guess it depends on the type of nigori sake, but I think this sake goes well with habitual ingredients 😘.

Good morning, Matsuchiyo-san. It was a smooth drink, less sweet and more refreshing than I expected. It depends on how one feels, but I had the impression that the acidity was doing a good job 😁.
