Here is a bottle to accompany you this evening. It is a sake brewed with two kinds of rice. When the bottle is opened, it has a sweet aroma of fresh fruit, reminiscent of apples. I wonder if the Yamada-Nishiki is doing a good job. When well chilled, it has a dry but refreshing sweetness. As the temperature rises, the sweetness comes to the fore and is balanced by the acidity and bitterness. Reading the label, I thought it would be more gutsy, but it is not at all (lol). It is delicious as it is. The soaked spinach goes well with the sake as the astringency and bitterness of the ingredients mellows it out. Since I was expecting guts, the main dish was tomato bean curd. The dish is both spicy, sour, and sweet. The light sweetness of the sake remained, and the taste was smooth and dry. Delicious! It was a fun sake that changed its appearance depending on the temperature and accompaniments!
