Lukewarm sake. Heating up sake is good on a cold day. The delicious taste of the rice rises and your body relaxes. The milt with dashi broth is also delicious.
The third type has a strong acidity, complex aroma and umami flavor that is typical of a sake with a fresh yeast base. We served it with Takataro's specialty, potato salad with smoked half-boiled egg on top, and gratin of crab miso and Shimonita leeks. Bliss.
Invited by a regular customer to "Takataro", a popular izakaya in Shibuya where reservations are hard to come by. It is a nice restaurant. First of all, here's a sake. It has a clean and refreshing taste with a strong umami aftertaste. Pair it with sashimi of yellowtail, flatfish, and Spanish mackerel.
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.
