Timeline
rkdra3This is a sake from Miyagi Prefecture, selected in the same vein as the Hitakami. It was described as junmai dry, so I ordered it, expecting it to have a strong umami flavor.
This sake was cloudy and smooth, with a little bit of umami and a hint of ginjo aroma from the back of the bottle.
I paired it with sea bass, striped horse mackerel, and sea urchin, but it did not go well with them. I thought I had not found the right pairing, but when I took a bite of gari, its sweetness and spiciness paired perfectly and it was delicious.
Finishing the evening with a glass of Kan Abe and gari would make for a perfect evening. 
rkdra3This sake was described on the menu of a sushi restaurant as "good with sushi and sashimi. The phrase "super dry" was written on the menu, so I ordered it, imagining it would have a strong flavor.
It was a slightly cloudy sake with a fresh sake-like aroma that was not that strong. The slight umami component that lingered on my tongue when I sipped it gave me the impression that it was more of a mellow sake type of sake.
When I had it with the recommended nigiri for lunch, it went well with white fish, salmon roe, and eggs. More essentially, it is a sake that goes well with soy sauce. The moderate umami component, clean taste, and acidity (lightness?) when drunk by itself make it a delicious sake to drink with these sushi. When served with these sushi, the moderate umami component, clean mouthfeel, and acidity (lightness?) when drunk on its own bring out the best and cancel out the worst, making for a good pairing.
On the other hand, I felt the pairing was a little weak with red and fatty fish such as tuna and salmon.
While not a universal sake, it is an attractive sake that attracts people when paired.
If you are going to eat salmon roe on rice in Watari-machi, Miyagi Prefecture, I wanted to pair it with this sake. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, rkdra3 😃.
It's hikakami for sashimi and sushi! It was hikakami that got us hooked on sake 🍶🥹. rkdra3Thanks for the comment! So your first step in the sake swamp was Hidakami! It goes great with white fish, doesn't it? 😆 RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
