I got some whale sashimi, so I will enjoy it with bonito.
It has a strong sweetness, but the slight gasiness makes it easy to drink. Both whale and bonito have a taste of blood, but it is washed away.
I'm going to try it with grilled sardines.
It has a sweet aroma, but the taste is more bitter and sour with a light sweetness added. It also has a slight gaseous taste and is low in alcohol, so it is easy to drink. It feels like it would be pleasant to drink when it is a little hotter.
Since I am back from out of town today, I will enjoy it with the snacks I have on hand. I am looking forward to seeing how well it goes with the stewed beef tendon that I have left over for later.
This is the first time I have tasted Bodaiyuan sake. I feel sweetness and bitterness, but the sweetness seems to prevail slightly. It is low-alcoholic but also powerful. The beef stewed in red miso paste was well received. The bitterness is accentuated and seems to be a good palate freshener.
This is the last bottle of spring sake I bought. I will drink it as soon as possible.
It has a strong sweetness and a slight bitterness. The bitterness clears the palate quickly.
It has a strong sweetness and a slight sourness. It contains a good amount of gas, so it has a nice "shwashy" feeling, making it a refreshing drink despite its sweetness. It goes perfectly with the grilled fish and vinegared vegetables I prepared.
It is strongly sweet, but the slight bitterness, acidity, and gassiness help to smooth out the taste of the snacks. It could have been a little darker in flavor.
Yesterday I got the bonito tataki I wanted. I thought about pairing it with red wine, but considering the combination with other snacks, I decided to go with sake.
The moment you put it in your mouth, it has a strong sweetness, but after that comes a thick and spicy taste with a gaseous sensation. It seems to be able to accept strong flavored dishes.
It is the end of the workday, and I prepared some snacks with a little more care. The photo does not show it, but I made grilled chicken thighs with salt.
It has a strong sourness, sweetness and spiciness. The aftertaste is sweet and disappears quickly. It has a strength that allows the fat from the chicken to be easily washed away. I think it is a very versatile sake.
Tomorrow I am taking my annual leave, so I will enjoy a drink with a little more elaborate snacks. The weather looks bad, but I am planning to go out to the cherry blossom viewing spots in the prefecture.
Following the weekend, I will enjoy a pink sake to feel the spring. It has a sweet aroma, but I feel it has a strong acidity. Then there is sweetness and slight bitterness. It contains a lot of gas and is a refreshing sake.
It is still quite cold, but I purchased a spring sake so I can enjoy the spring mood a hand and a foot earlier.
It is a strong sweet sake with a sweet aroma to match. However, it is not sticky sweet, and the aftertaste is a little tangy and spicy.
