Brewed with comet, this is our companion for tonight. When the bottle is opened, it has an aroma of sourness and ripe gourd. When you put it in your mouth, the acidity spreads on your palate. The dry white wine is followed by a strong bitter aftertaste. When paired with a dish of sea bream albacore sautéed in butter with a sauce of balsamic vinegar and maple syrup, the pronounced acidity of the wine rounds out and is replaced by a freshness and sweetness. This is nice. Komatsuna with spicy noodle soup helps to reduce the bitterness of sake. The Wakatake-ni (bamboo shoots simmered in soy sauce) is a mild sake with the bitterness of the bamboo shoots. As it is, it is not my favorite sake, but it is a fun sake that changes its flavor with the dishes it is paired with!
