I tasted the first sip with sake only.
I could feel the sweetness of the rice and thought it was a little sweet.
This time, I chose mussel sashimi and shellfish strings (both from Famima) as snacks,
The lightness of the mussel sashimi and the sweetness of the sake matched very well, and the sake went well with them.
Perhaps shellfish and sake go well together.
The sweetness flutters in the mouth, but
but the taste is crisp on the throat.
After that, umami spreads softly.
It has a strong dry taste, but the lingering umami flavor makes it easy to drink.

This time, I had it with grilled Akinatai fish, but I think it would go very well with more light grilled fish or lightly seasoned stewed fish.

Sake with a great sake flavor.
If you are looking for a sharp taste, I don't recommend it,
It is suitable for those who want to savor sake slowly.
Because of its strong umami, it does not go well with strong flavored snacks,
Firefly squid (saboroshi), flatfish sashimi, etc.
It would go very well with sashimi of leatherfish (with soy sauce for the liver).
It may also go well with fish paste.
Sake with a strong sharpness
You can feel the sharpness in the mouth, but it is not just strong.
It is not only strong, but also has a subtle umami taste in the aftertaste.
It is best to drink it cold.
I had it with bonito tataki.
It was great!
If you drink it at near room temperature, it loses its sharpness.
I drank it with salmon skin and it was nice and refreshing.
Not too sweet.
Refreshing when you put it in your mouth
The aftertaste is just the right amount of sweetness of sake.
It goes well with raw fish such as leatherfish and shellfish (or grilled).
