This is my first time drinking this sake, and it has the same light taste and strong sweetness as the recent sake from Saitama. It also has a slight bitterness and a spicy aftertaste that leaves the mouth feeling refreshed.
I tried heating it up, but it has a strong acidity. If it has this much acidity even when heated, I would like to pair it with strong-flavored simmered dishes or Western food.
It has a strong acidity. Afterward, sweetness and bitterness can be felt. There is a slight gassy feeling and the aftertaste is refreshing in the mouth.
Today we are serving it with grilled salt-crusted swordfish, but we would like to try it with Western food as well.
Since it is a nama-shu, it has an even lighter flavor than the one we had yesterday. The sake is paired with narezushi, which is a type of sushi with red snapper, and the strength of the flavors are just the same.
It has a good balance of spiciness and sweetness and cannot be said to be leaning one way or the other. It has a good sharpness and is suitable for a mid-meal drink. I prepared a cold oden-like dish with sardine ball and fish paste as a side dish. It is just the right sake for Japanese food.
It has a sweet aroma and the sweetness is strongly felt in the mouth as well. After that, the sourness and bitterness come gradually. I think it is perfect for drinking in this hot season.
Today I served it with hamo no okoshi (pike conger) and raw sardines, but I would like to try it with meat dishes and other oily foods as well.
It has a good balance of sweetness and sourness. It also has a slight bitterness, making it a refreshing drink in this hot season.
It is paired with vinegared horse mackerel and simmered pumpkin. We prepared something summery.
It has a sweet aroma. As the aroma suggests, the sweetness spreads in the mouth, but the aftertaste is tangy and heavy.
I prepared a salad of bonito tataki with a dressing made from olive oil and wine vinegar, and this sake took it all in stride.
It is a dark cloudy sake with quite a bit of lees. It has a strong acidity. It contains a lot of gas, so the aftertaste is crisp. I think it would go well with beef stew and other strong-flavored Western dishes. It seems to go well with Nara pickles, a specialty of the same prefecture, but when I visited there the other day, there were no pickle shops available and I could not purchase any. Next time I visit Nara, I will try to buy it as well.
It is spicy and has a slight bitterness. It has a firm weight, so it matches the simmered dishes I prepared today. Since it was raining heavily, I didn't go shopping and only had leftovers, miso peas made from leftover raw peanuts, and thick-flavored snacks, but they happened to go well with sake.
It has a fruity citrus aroma, but it seems to be more spicy. It was quite warm during the day, so I decided to make it a summer sake. I decided on bonito today after seeing the news of a good catch of bonito in the prefecture.
It has a sweet aroma, but the mouthfeel feels spicy and strong. The spiciness may be due to the gas. Today, we only had seafood as a side dish, but it seems to go well with Western food as well.
It is a sake brewed from ancient rice and has a red color. The taste was different from what I expected, with a strong sweetness and acidity. It seems to be a good first sake.
