Recommended Food Paring

Salmon Sashimi/ Tempra with salt

Daiginjo has the image of a toasting sake, but this Daiginjo is highly recommended for pairing with food. While it is gorgeous and fruity, the taste of rice in this sake will firmly support even a slightly fat dish. When you pair with this sake, it is recommended to eat tempura with salt for a refreshing aftertaste.
