そめぞう
I was attracted to this sake by a store pop-up that said it could be served cold or warmed. Today's meal was a Western-style meal, so I had a glass of sparkling wine and then an after-dinner glass of sake.
I've been drinking a lot of strong sake recently, so at first I thought it would be easy to drink. But after the second sip, I thought, "Oh, it's a well-balanced sake with a lot of umami, what should I do with snacks? So I paired it with Kameda's Wasabi Kaki no Tane (persimmon seeds with wasabi). (I think Naniwaya's Aojiso Kaki-no-tane would be a better match.) Today I drank it cold, so I will try heated sake from tomorrow onward.
Next week it will be as cold as December, so I feel like I'm going into winter without drinking much autumn-aged or hiyaoroshi sake.
