It's clean and umami. Although it is dry, it leaves a sweet taste on the tongue, with a fruity note at the back. I realized later that it is unfiltered sake. I paired it with Sushi is nice. I mean, it is more difficult to find sake that does not go well with sushi. Grilled eel with gizzard I thought the bitterness of the liver would fight with the sweetness of the sake, but it was surprisingly good. Neither good nor bad. Head of tuna This is a rare part of the tuna head that we got at a department store. I bought it because I was told it could be served as sashimi, and it was delicious. It has as much fat as toro, but not too much. Of course, it goes well with sake.

My favorite Okuharima. This time it is a summer mellow, super-hot, nama-zake. It is dry, light, refreshing, and has a sharpness that is typical of summer. But it also has umami and acidity (or is it acidity?) in the back. I really like dry sake. It really reaffirms that I like dry sake. I paired it with sushi from the supermarket and slices of tuna. It's not a bad match. It's a good match. As an added bonus, the soy sauce turned out nice and thick. Japanese side dishes also go well.

Later, the taste was a little different? It was a kind of something chlorine-like. What I paired it with on this day was, Sushi, which goes well with it without question. Okra tofu with myoga and shiso leaves. Yes, they go well together.

PNK

Steamed shrimp, hmmm. The guts weren't properly removed, and they might have fought with each other. I put some salt on it and it turned out good. The mackerel simmered in red miso paste was not bad. It was surprisingly not overpowered by the richness of the red miso.

Cucumber and eggplant pickles. It goes well with pickles.

Also at Mizuren's in Kitashinchi. Dry and refreshing but easy to drink. You can really feel the richness and fullness deep inside. Tempura of hamo and asparagus with a sprinkle of crustacean Umai! (The food) It's a nice pairing. The crustaceans are nice and quirky and go well together!

At Suiren in Kitashinchi. Kozaemon Junmai Ginjo Natsugin Dry, refreshing, and smooth, it goes down your mouth and throat smoothly. But you can still taste the umami. I like it. I paired it with hand-rolled sushi with sea urchin and toro. I don't have to say it, but it goes well with this. Delicious. I mean, I knew the dish was good. The owner told me that "Natsu-gin" is not defined like "aki oroshi," but rather has a refreshing seasonal taste and the color of the bottle is similar to that of the original.

After a long time, I went to "Mizunoren" in Kitashinchi. Ishizuchi's "Natsu Gin". It was refreshing, fruity, and mellow. It was fresh. Hairy Crab and Flounder Spring Rolls This is delicious in itself, but as a pairing, well, it's neither good nor bad. Sea bream rolled with eye onion and nori soy sauce. Goes well with sake. Yum! The nori is delicious! If I were at home, I'd lick it off!

Small bottles purchased at the station store. All ingredients are from Wakayama Prefecture. It is dry but mellow. It has a sense of transparency. It is very easy to drink. The color of the bottle is beautiful. Sashimi, it looks good. This goes well with it. Cucumber and pickled eggplant, also goes well. Vinegared crab cakes, not too bad, not too bad. Tempura, good or not so good. Rice with takikomi go well with this. However, it goes well overall. This is proof that the sake is good. I think it goes well with everything.

Tatenogawa is known for its dry taste. It has a freshness that is both refreshing and umami. I paired it with sushi. It's good, no doubt about it. It can be paired with anything. The next day. Yellowfin tuna sashimi→Good Simmered yellowfin tuna→Not too much, not too little. Miso cucumber→Might go well with it? Homemade chilled tofu with yam and myoga→Not so good, not so bad. Simmered abalone in soy sauce→Well, maybe this seasoning itself was not good. It was neither good nor bad. Baked salmon with sweet sake and kouji sauce→Not so good, not so bad. It seems to be able to match with anything. It was not so.

It is crisp, dry, light and sharp. It is also fruity. However, I don't feel any sweetness. It is probably an all-around wine that goes with everything. I paired it with sushi. I served it with half a piece of rice, and wrapped it with slices of sashimi, toro and ikura (salmon roe). Naturally, it goes well with everything. It's a good taste. Later, I added it to other half-priced side dishes. Maybe because it has been overnight, it does not have the sharpness of a freshly opened one. Instead, it has a roundness. Temari Sushi, Yamabuki no Nimono, Soboro Daikon, Spinach and Nuta, Edamame, and Sardine. All of them are very nice.

A sake I had never tried before at a tasting at Imanishi Seibei Shoten in Nara. They chose it for the tasting list for people who are not familiar with Japanese sake because the number of foreign tourists has been increasing due to the Corona relaxation. As you can see in the picture, the background to the completion of this sake makes it even more enjoyable, as it brings up many stories when you drink it. Harushika is famous for its super dry taste, but this one is sweet and fruity with a slight sourness. It is like a dessert wine for sake. Personally, I think it is better to drink it chilled. I guess it depends on your taste. The staff at the brewery told me that it goes well with smoked salmon. So this time, instead of Japanese food, I tried to match it with some side dishes that would go well with the wine.

Japanese>English

PNK

Smoked salmon is a good match, as they say. Not the best pairing, but certainly a good match and delicious. The prosciutto salad (strawberry vinegar) is neither good nor bad. But it is also a natural sake drinker.

Japanese>English

PNK

I mean, it is amazing to forget that it is sake.

The marinated sardines don't go well with this dish. The fish smell is noticeable. Not that it's not good, but I don't enjoy it. This is a dry white wine.

Japanese>English

I'm afraid of sweet sake. Even though it was a four-pack bottle, I finished it in one sitting. I went to bed on the sofa.

It is as dry and good as ever. It is clean, but I feel it has some roundness to it. However, I don't think there is much difference between it and the original super dry one. If you compare the two, you might be able to tell the difference. It goes well with sashimi. I mean, the soy sauce is good, and you can feel the umami flavor when it is combined with sake. Pickles go well with it. It might be the best match among all the dishes we tried this time. The chicken nabe was neither good nor bad. The simmered sea bream roe was, well........................ Not so good, not so bad. The silver salmon fillet, I think it doesn't go well with the fat of the salmon.

I stocked up at a local supermarket during my trip to Tatsuno City in GW. I had heard from an acquaintance that Ryuryoku's rice whispering is extremely delicious, so I was surprised to find it sold at a supermarket, As soon as I opened the bottle, I could smell the fruity aroma. It is not strong. Soft on the palate, neither sweet nor dry. More like water? I don't mean that it doesn't taste like water, I mean that it is natural. The soft aftertaste has a hint of rice? I can feel the tenderness of rice in the soft aftertaste. Whisper of rice" I see. I can understand the meaning of the name. This is very tasty. Also, it's very Dangerous because it goes down as easily as water.

Japanese>English

PNK

The first thing I paired it with was tsukudani (food boiled in soy) with baby sardines. This is nice because it gives the sake a strong sweetness, but it loses the delicacy of this sake. Golden kiwi with vinegared miso. Oh, this one is no good.

Japanese>English

PNK

It was as if the vinegared miso flavor, which had been perfected, had been deconstructed, and the vinegared miso flavor also obliterated the sake's goodness.

Japanese>English

PNK

I paired it with amazake mochi I picked up at Hirafuku Roadside Station in Sayo-cho, where I was traveling. I thought it would go well with sake, Well, it was neither too good nor too bad.

Japanese>English

PNK

The reason why I did not pair it with food this time was that I happened to have only snacks. And when I drank it with the snacks, I thought it was better to enjoy this as a drink than as a pairing.

Japanese>English

PNK

It is so delicate that it is called "whispering," so when combined with other flavors, it loses out. Like Jyushiyo, it is a sake that has already been perfected, but while Jyushiyo is firm and assertive enough to stand up to food, Yone no Sasaya is delicate and less assertive.

Japanese>English

PNK

Therefore, I think it would be delicious in a dish using only dashi or, ultimately, in combination with "ichiban dashi," which is often served at the beginning of a meal at a ryotei restaurant. I don't know.

Japanese>English

PNK

The next day, I happened to get some prepared food sold at my favorite roadside station. It was light in flavor, but the ingredients were well seasoned. This might still be a good match.

Japanese>English

PNK

However, the taste of the sake has changed because it has been sitting for a few days. It is not delicate, but dry-like, thick and full-bodied. This is not so bad, though. I guess it is necessary to drink it as soon as possible after opening the bottle.

Japanese>English

PNK

Perhaps because of this, it goes well with prepared foods in general. Tempura is especially good. The homemade chicken hot pot is neither good nor bad.

Harushika Super Dry Sake is another favorite of mine this year. I happened to find it at an event stall at Keihan Department Store in Kyobashi and bought it. I was planning to go to Nara next week and was going to buy it at a sake brewery, but if it is sold here, I had to buy it. I was also grateful that they let me sample other sake for free. Well, it tastes like iron plate. It's refreshing, yet rich and full of flavor. It's just the way I like it. I have a mixed feeling about this place, as it seems to be getting more and more famous these days. The pairing was sushi purchased at the same Keihan Department Store and side dishes from Ume-no-Hana. The sushi was a good match. The side dishes are also nice. However, I am not as impressed as I was last year when I paired it with Kakinoha Sushi.

It is dry rather than sweet with the mildness of nama sake. It is easy to drink with a pleasant mouthfeel, so it may be Dangerous. Homemade today. Sashimi of Yokowa, nice. Chilled tofu, not too bad, not too bad. Tomato simmered swordfish, a little bit different. It seems to go well with wine. Tuna simmered with ginger. Yokowa and avocado salad, not so good, not so bad. A little difficult to match? It might be good with Japanese side dish with soup stock. The label on the back of the bottle says dishes that go well with it, but I didn't look.

Sweet and tasty. It is rich and thick. It is unfiltered, so it is quite rough. The aftertaste is a tingling sensation in the mouth, and the sweetness lingers. Since it is only a pure sake, it is 19 degrees, so if you don't drink it slowly, it is quite dangerous. It is similar to "Kikusui" not only in name but also in taste. Match it with sushi. It is sweet and quite rich, so it is assertive without losing the smell of fish or soy sauce. It is neither too strong nor too weak as a pairing. The crab meat is good thanks to the sanbai-su vinegar. Later, I paired it with a lunch box from Minokichi, which was also quite nice.

It is dry and refreshing. But it has a mellowness of its own. There is almost no aroma. It does not have a full-bodied flavor. Probably the type of sake that can be paired with any food. It may be dangerous because it is so easy to drink. It is good with sushi. The other side dishes from the roadside station are not so bad. These side dishes would be better suited to a sweeter, mellower version. Among them, only the minced onion with nuta goes very well. This is a great pairing. Unfortunately, both of these dishes are limited editions (spring is the best season for spring onion). It is almost impossible to reproduce this pairing.

However, it doesn't mean that it doesn't go well with it. The only thing that saved the dish was the Kinzanji miso.

Sweet taste. Mild and mellow on the palate. But it is refreshing without leaving too much residue. I would pair it with sushi with fish. I don't think the smell of fish and soy sauce would mix well. Not bad, but not bad at all.
