On a hot day, spicy food and shwash sake is good, right? I changed my mind and prepared a champagne glass different from the one in the photo. When I opened the bottle, the aroma was subdued. In the mouth, there is a refreshing sweetness followed by a strong rice flavor. It finishes with acidity. The day's heat must have been a test to make this sake so delicious.
Grilled magnificent asparagus with salt and olive oil. The asparagus is fresh, sweet, and extremely delicious! It brings out the freshness and sweetness of the sake. It goes well with it! Overnight dried oysters, a Nagasaki souvenir, are sake thieves. The oysters are plump and delicious. Bean sprouts and yugao (evening glory) with bean-curd soup. The spicy seasoning enhances the flavor of the sake, but keeps it from being too heavy, so you can't stop drinking.
The label on the back of the bottle says to drink the top clear liquid, so I shook the bottle for the last time. The finesse is gone, but the lees adds a bit more flavor, sweetness, and umami, so it's a good way to finish off the evening.
It was another wonderful encounter tonight!
