This is the first brewed Nishinomon. It may be rare to buy a fire-brewed version. When the bottle is opened, it has a gentle aroma. It does not assert itself at all. In the mouth, a strong sweetness can be felt at first, but the acidity that follows it gives a refreshing aftertaste, making it easy to drink. The rice flavor brought by the orikarami is also very nice.
When paired with a salad, the sweetness of the balsamic vinegar mellows out the sweetness of the sake. The bitter taste of soaked green pepper and carrot complements the sake. Delicious! After simmered sardines, the sweetness of sake helps to wash away the aftertaste of the dish. It also goes well with grilled sardines with ume shiso leaves!
The sweetness is strong, so if you don't mind it, I recommend it.
