- Firm acidity and a tight bitterness form the sturdy bones of the sake, and a slight spiciness enlivens the tasting experience
Pairing:
- Japanese whiting tempura, fried spring rolls, asparagus goma ae, bamboo shoots stewed Tosa style
- The ripe banana and spiciness of Nanago make a good harmony with the aromatics of such dishes. The sake’s clear, expanding umami balances well with dashi.
