This is Kiharu, a restaurant famous for its mackerel in Gotō. First, an all-mighty junmai sake that will go with any meal. Match it with an assortment of three types of mackerel: swimming mackerel, seared mackerel, and sesame mackerel.
Limited time nigori sake. I got it in the summer and intended to drink it earlier...but the sweet and sour taste made it a summer memory. I had grilled and marinated salmon and harako (harako is a kind of fish that is pickled in soy sauce) from Murakami.
I feel like I always drink this when I come here, but once again I think it is a delicious sake. I like it. I hear it is hard to find. Paired with assorted fish from Toyama.
A fresh sake that is a little tangy in the mouth. However, it is easy to drink and is perfect as a food sake. I have had the Kafuda sake before, but this was the first time I noticed that it had a tank number. I paired it with paprika and lotus root tempura, and black wagyu beef tataki with leek sauce.
Yamada Nishiki. Soft on the palate, with a hint of acidity, it is ideal as a mid-meal sake. Serve with sashimi of halibut, pike conger, octopus, and prawns.
First time drinking Tokushima sake. Warmed sake. Mellow aroma, good acidity, sweetness, and plenty of umami. It goes perfectly with grilled ayu fish from the Nagara River.
