I found Hakurakusei Junmai Daiginjo at Hasegawa Sake Shop in Tokyo Station, so I bought it.
The label says that it aims to be "the ultimate shokuchu-shu". I tried it with different foods.
First of all, I had a glass before having a meal. The moment it enters the mouth, it has a rich aroma and sweetness, but it is crisp and clean through the throat.
After that, I ate cheese, oysters, sashimi (tuna, flatfish), chicken thigh meat, natto (fermented soybeans), etc., and drank it while the aftertaste remained in my mouth.
The result was oyster > natto > sashimi > cheese > chicken thigh meat. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I found that it went well with things that had a smell or a peculiar taste, and it was delicious to drink with seafood.
Especially with oysters, I thought the smell of the oysters and the sake would fight each other, but as the aroma of Hakurakusei spread to the lingering smell of the oysters in my mouth, the flavor of the sake increased and I couldn't help but smile. Highly recommended!
I will also try the others.
