My favorite Okuharima.
This time it is a summer mellow, super-hot, nama-zake.
It is dry, light, refreshing, and has a sharpness that is typical of summer.
But it also has umami and acidity (or is it acidity?) in the back. I really like dry sake.
It really reaffirms that I like dry sake.
I paired it with sushi from the supermarket and slices of tuna.
It's not a bad match. It's a good match. As an added bonus, the soy sauce turned out nice and thick.
Japanese side dishes also go well.

Later, the taste was a little different? It was a kind of something chlorine-like.
What I paired it with on this day was,
Sushi, which goes well with it without question.
Okra tofu with myoga and shiso leaves. Yes, they go well together.

Steamed shrimp, hmmm. The guts weren't properly removed, and they might have fought with each other.
I put some salt on it and it turned out good.
The mackerel simmered in red miso paste was not bad.
It was surprisingly not overpowered by the richness of the red miso.

Cucumber and eggplant pickles. It goes well with pickles.
