The sake recommended by the restaurant staff.
He said, "A high percentage of customers who order this sake always get another one!" He said.
It is true that the sake has little sweetness, but the alcohol content is low and the drink is refreshing.
At Yoneya in Chikusa. I asked for a sake that would go well with the drinks, and they served me a heated bottle of Asahi Kiku's Daichi. It was very mild on the palate. It has a strong aftertaste that lingers for a moment and then disappears quickly. As it cooled down, the sweetness and acidity seemed to become stronger. I prefer to enjoy it while it is still warm. It also goes well with oden soup stock.
It also goes well with oden soup.
We drank it at New Year's with Osechi.
It was served at room temperature. It's easy to drink, but the sourness and spiciness linger in the aftertaste. It has a strong fruity taste, so it doesn't seem to go well with salty meals such as meat. For Osechi, it goes well with sweet dishes such as kurikinton, black soybeans and datemaki.
It was the first time for me to go into a rice shop "Maihomu" in Chikusa. I asked for a sake that would go well with rice, and they served me Asahi Kiku. On this day, we had sashimi of mackerel, deep-fried kelp with baby kelp, and simmered sea bream.
It was certainly a sake with a good flavor that went well with the dishes, without being too assertive. It was not too spicy, so it was easy to drink. It was served hot.
At "Fermented Bar Kamosu", a standing bar in Nagano station. We had it with potato salad with nozawana. It was introduced as a dry sake, but it felt like water on the tongue and I could drink it smoothly. I'm not good at spicy sake, but this is delicious. It goes well with potato salad.
