Japanese Hot Pots Party at Matsuri
Wintere Blues? Strike Back Winter Warm Nanbu Bijin
Today’s ATE—ANKIMO with Nanbu Bijin
One of my favorite ATE is steamed monk fish liver with ponzu sauce called ANKIMO!! I paired Nanbu Bijin Junmai Daiginjo and Tokubetsu Junmai at Sakagura! Both are great. Junmai Daiginjo paring is very delicate and sophisticated, and Tokubetsu Junmai is little more like a winter taste. Anyway………yum yum yum….heaven!!
ATE are small dishes that go great with sake.
