The sake. The sharpness is as sharp as a sword. A refreshing sensation that heats up the tongue and upper jaw, instantly resetting the aftertaste of the meal.
Sweet like a candy. When served cold, the sake's sweetness is reduced and it becomes more approachable.
We paired it with a dish called Toropan, a bruschetta-like dish of tororo tataki (fatty tuna) served on bread, and were pleasantly surprised at how smoothly the fatty meat of the tororo melted away.
It is said to be a sake from a brewery that is strong in old sake.
In addition to the unique flavor of old sake, it has a strong sweet taste.
The Taiwanese seasoned sesame with salmon roe on top, covered with a fantastic spice called ma gao, has a strong flavor that does not lose out to the strong taste of the snacks. The balance is exquisite.
Hououmida with tonic water. This was my first sake cocktail and it was very refreshing and tasty.
The fruity flavor of Hououmida was combined with a hint of sourness.
The marriage of the yellowtail and lemongrass was perfect.
A winter-only junmai sake to drink when the weather gets a little hot and humid. The glass was well chilled, and I was glad to have a distinctly cool and refreshing feeling. The non-habitual flavor was just right for the first drink.

We get it at Jinjo Sake Shop Nerima.
Sake that tastes like sake. I think there are different tastes, but I like it. My friend who drank it with me said it smelled like apples, and it certainly had a nice fruity flavor and aroma. The tempura of pork cubes served at this restaurant is excellent, and it was a very good match.
The third drink I had at Nerimaru.
It was slightly carbonated and refreshing. The aroma in the nose was sweet and wine-like.
The type of wine was different from the first and second glasses, so it may have seemed like more than the others.
This was the best drink of the day.
The second drink at Nerimaru.
This is sake. It tastes like sake.
You can somehow smell the aroma of rice.
I was surprised because I didn't know that Obuse Winery produces sake.
I think it would taste even better if I drank it in my Riedel wine glass.
We had this at my wife's parents' house.
Like Masumi, it is dry, but with a little more character. I was impressed by the feeling that it slowly spread to the upper jaw.

We had this at Supin BAKAWARI in Nishiogikubo.
It is easy to drink like water, with a non-habitual flavor and a smooth taste.
It went well with the clear soup made from fish coarsely chopped.

We had this at Supin BAKAWARAI in Nishiogikubo.
It has a soft flavor and a sweet taste.
It goes very well with beef tendon oden.
