At Isuzu PLAZA annex × Kimijimaya's Sake Seminar It has a refreshing aroma of Yoshino cedar and a spicy aroma characteristic of aged sake. It has a sweet flavor with a good balance of bitterness and astringency, and the nose has a smoky aroma. I had it cold this time, but I think it is absolutely delicious lukewarm or warmed up. Serve with a sweet treat such as yokan jelly or chocolate, or with a well-seasoned Chinese meal. I paired it with hojicha pudding and espresso for dessert.

At Isuzu PLAZA annex × Kimijimaya's Sake Seminar This sake is brewed using a French native rice called Manoubi rice from Camargue in Provence in southern France. Because of this, the sake is called Junmai Daiginjo, but it is classified as Sake. It has a clear, pale yellow color with a hint of citrusy ginjo aroma. The mouthfeel is sweet and delicious with a beautiful acidity and a hint of salty minerality. It is well-balanced and the aftertaste lasts for a while. If you were told it was a white wine with this taste, you would be convinced without realizing it was sake! We paired it with grilled duck risotto with green pepper.

At Isuzu PLAZA annex × Kimijimaya's Sake Seminar Soft aroma of rice. Slightly dry with a rich and thick flavor. The first mouthfeel is gentle, but in the middle part of the taste, umami, astringency and acidity are all in one. The complex but well-balanced strength of this wine is a perfect match for main dishes with rich sauces. Paired with: Deep-fried sea bream with shrimp and wine sauce

At Isuzu PLAZA annex × Kimijimaya's Sake Seminar This sake is made from Yamadanishiki grown organically without pesticides and chemical fertilizers by Mr. Kurosawa, a contract farmer. The aroma is modest, clean and sweet. The mouthfeel is gentle, with a good balance of umami and acidity, and a beautiful mouthfeel. Because it is light and you will not get tired of drinking it, you can finish it easily and even have a second glass. The dish we paired it with was Royale of local eggs with poached foie gras on top.

At Isuzu PLAZA annex × Kimijimaya's Sake Seminar I used to drink potato shochu, Tominohozan, but this was my first time to try sake, Tenpui. The aroma is fruity and sweet, but it has a clear ginjo flavor. The flavor is strong and firm, but not heavy. The slight acidity and bitterness tighten the aftertaste, so you don't get tired of drinking it. Paired with: Carpaccio of sea bream and fine fish, salad with Shonan Gold dressing

At Isuzu PLAZA annex × Kimijimaya's Sake Seminar It has a clear ginjo aroma and no habits, so it is easy to drink. The flavor with a hint of sweetness spreads out, and the aftertaste lingers for a long time. From the beginning to the end of the course, you can keep drinking it forever. Three kinds of amuse-bouches are served with this wine. Oeuf Brouille with Truffle Sauce, Fritto of Bamboo Shoots and Cured Ham, Homemade Smoked Mackerel
