Tonight's accompaniment continues to be a bottle that has aged well. Time flies by so fast! When the bottle is opened, it is not the type that has a strong aroma. It has a faintly sweet aroma. When you put it in your mouth, it starts out crisp, tight, and dry, and after swallowing, you feel a sweetness in your throat. The sweetness flows smoothly, so it is not too sweet. Komatsuna with wasabi mayo is a nice way to enhance the flavor of the sake. Fried squid with butter and soy sauce with shichimi mayo is a great snack! Sake is also delicious as it brings out the sweetness and flavor of sake. The sweet pickled wasabi stems are sweet by themselves, but they enhance the flavor of the sake, which is also good.
As usual, it was chilled in the wine cooler, but perhaps it would be more in its element if the temperature was raised just a bit. The first sip was not enough, and by changing the accompaniments and temperature, it turned out to be a monster. Sake is fun!
