Don't remember what we ordered because it was vacation & were having too much fun with our new found love of Japanese fusion:-) Anyway, it occurred to me that sake would complement spicy food nicely due to its somewhat neutral taste. At home where we usually eat on the spicy side, my husband regularly stocks "Momokawa Premium Sake: Pearl, Junmai Ginjo Nigori". Just tasted this but feel it tastes a little sour(?); therefore, I would like a recommendation for something softer/smoother & slightly sweeter. Hope this makes sense, thanks!

Couldn't find the Onikoroshi locally. http://www.klwines.com/content.asp?&N=0&Nr=OR%28OutofStock%3AN%2CInventory+Location%3ASpecial+Order%29&Ns=QtySoldLast30%7C1 Don't know why but won't copy the sake page...sorry.

So easy to drink! I think I now know what to look for. Thanks for your help. Thu Sep 27 13:21:51 -0700 2007 2970110 108661 ceekskat
