First time at a sushi restaurant in 3 months, Akabu no Amber. This sake perfectly matches its name, label, and taste. It is similar to the Juro-Man I drank before, but it is mellower overall, with an elegant sweetness. However, it has more luster than Juroman, or rather, it has a unique transparency that is called amber.
It is sweet but refreshing, mellow but with an edge. I have the impression that if you leave it up to the sake sommelier here, he will serve you a very distinctive sake on the first glass. I guess he has the knowledge and experience to find the right balance between the sake and the food.
If I asked for it myself, I would probably order Tobiroki or Yasupai right away. Well, of course Tobiroki is delicious. I would buy Akabu no Amber if I could find it.
