This is a bottle to accompany you this evening. Is it the first time? The crown comes off with a pleasant pop. When the bottle is opened, the aroma is like fruit juice with a hint of sourness. In the mouth, you first feel a strong shwash, followed by a refreshing sweetness and a sharp aftertaste. The balance of sourness and weak bitterness is wonderful. â-¥When paired with stir-fried komatsuna and raw wood ear with Japan's best spices (is it soy sauce based?), it has a fruity taste. When combined with stir-fried komatsuna and raw wood ear, the fruity taste is enhanced. There is no reason why it should not go well with the grilled chicken with cod roe, mayo and black pepper sauce. It makes the drinks go down just like in an izakaya (Japanese style bar)! The bitter taste of pickled cucumber masks the bitterness of the sake, which is also delicious. I had low expectations for this sake because of the label promoting Yamadanishiki, but it was a delicious sake. I am sorry for my skepticism!
I tried it in a champagne glass to test it out, and the sweetness and sharpness stood out, making it even more delicious! I would choose a champagne glass for this one!
