Benten appears frequently in our home. Is it because it is unfiltered? As soon as the bottle is opened, a nice aroma rises from the bottle. The ginjo aroma reminds me of sweet fruit. Pineapple? Sweet mandarin oranges? In the mouth, contrary to the aroma, the flavor is mellow and clean. When paired with a salad, it maintains a solid, down-to-earth feel without being overpowered by the celery or the sweetness of the tomatoes. And when paired with the grilled nodoguro (a type of northern bluefin tuna), which was on sale at a discount, it's a perfect match, with an added sweetness, but with a refreshing aftertaste! A powerful sake that never forgets to assert itself even after the strong flavor of grilled marinated chicken and vegetables. It is definitely a brand that is sure to be a winner. Since the sake remained until after the meal, we extended it with seared nori seaweed and Himalayan salt. I can't stop now!
