At a friend's soba noodle restaurant. This one is a little solid sake with a touch of alcohol. It is certainly good for hanami sake. We had "Ita Wasa" and "Tamago-yaki" (fried eggs). The last dish was curry Soba. Curry Soba noodles here are delicious with Keema Curry.
While waiting for the eel stew, we drank a cup of grilled fin. In such a case, it must be served cold (i.e., room temperature)...not to mention the deliciousness of the eel stew.
I have had this wine here before. It has a refreshing yet tasty flavor. I served it with duck skin ponzu vinegar, quail egg marinated in miso, and wasabi sweet potato.
Osaka after a long time. Surprised to see the 1st to 4th buildings turned into izakaya (Japanese style pub) buildings. At a takoyaki bar, we picked up takoyaki and beni-shoga-ten (red ginger tempura).
Lunchtime drinking at a popular izakaya in front of Nagoya Station. The sake is clean and clear, but has a rich flavor. Sashimi, miso stewed oden, and more.
When opened, it has a strong fresh acidity, a muscat-like aroma, and a light sweetness. Refreshing. At home with hand-rolled sushi. Very good with fish in general.
I have become a big fan of Yukino Kayasha. It has a wonderful balance of sharpness and umami. I was blissfully happy when I matched it with winter seafood such as kohada bite-sized sushi, bowls of white miso soup with unko and ebiimo, and amberjack sashimi.
Asahi Shuzo x Snow Peak sake. Made with 100% Niigata rice. It is refreshing, but has a depth like a spirit. It was developed as a sake for outdoor use, and for some reason, it goes exceptionally well with Patagonia's mussels marinated in oil. I can't stop drinking it.
A friend brought it to a home party. It tastes completely different from the kijoshu I have had so far. Mellow and delicious. Perfect with Brie de Meaux and blue cheese.
I received this from a friend who traveled to Fukushima. It is famous for having made Mozart listen to it. It is a refreshing and easy-drinking sake. It seems to go well with any snacks. I bought a bottle of "peeled squid" from Kishi Asajiro Shoten in Atami the other day, and it was so delicious that I drank a whole four-pack of it with just one bottle of salted squid...
