Sashimi of eggplant★★☆☆
A firm bitter taste goes well with light fish. Sweetness and sourness are also strong, so it harmonizes well with vegetables.
Kanzake (around 60℃)
The bitterness has mellowed a little. I don't think there is a big change in character.
Impression: The sweetness and acidity attack is strong, so if you have room in your fridge, it might be good chilled. But I'd like to see how this bitterness changes with age!
Future: Leave at room temperature
