Goya (bitter melon) pickled in sweet vinegar. I don't like the bitterness of goya, but I think it tastes good with sake. I chose a sake that would go well with the bitterness, but what do you think? (I don't know, but it tastes good.)
New Sake. The rice was brewed with last year's (since there was no new rice yet). I wonder if the taste changes with the old or new rice.
This has a full flavor for a new sake.
Last night. At a store that specializes in draft sake. I had never seen this Houou Mita before. It was a draft sake, but it had a very fire-reddish, refreshing feel to it.
I wanted to drink it. I bought it at Aeon.
The alcohol content is 5 degrees. It is different from usual sake. It is not a sake, but a beer that goes well with Japanese food.
I think it is an interesting product with a stylish label and available in a small bottle.
Junmai Ginjo, following the Namahashimoto Junmai. This one is even softer. Unlike the previous one, there is no core (not in a bad way, it's soft and disappears softly). I think this sense of core is possible with the sake made from the "Namahashime" method.
The waitress said to me, "It's crisp, isn't it?" and that's exactly what it is. I guess it is crisp with a modest taste and soft mouthfeel. I like that it's well chilled.
This is the first time for me to try the kamo yeast dobu. It tasted dry and authentic, much different from what I expected. It was perfect for a greasy snack.
I tend to ask for it when I see "kamishio yeast". This is no different, and it is a delicious all-around sake.
With grilled and soaked seasonal and colorful summer vegetables
Looks like it reads "roja sake"?
Sweet and fruity. They say it is a sake made from rice grown by duck farming.
Tataki horse mackerel with green pepper and soy sauce.
Ebi shinzo wrapped in yuba leaves, with unagi no shiroyaki (broiled eel).
This restaurant is amazing, with almost all of the sake-no-wa ranking up to about 20th (or maybe more)!
