Excellent move @J_L, sounds like you knocked two bentos with one sake to fully comprehend its versatility with Hayato’s bento and the seafood futomaki of Kaneyoshi!
I’m really happy for you guys, you all now have Yoshizumi-esque sushi in LA with Kaneyoshi!
Next opportunity for pairing hopefully in the future is a freshly binchotan grilled piece of nodoguro, anago or unagi with the Shimehari (as industry folks call it with 2 less syllables). My friend’s Japanese Italian restaurant in Tokyo carries this sake in magnum size, although I wonder what dishes he pairs it with, I suspect it might even work with squid pasta with a squid liver sauce, or crab and kani miso pasta.
@Starchtrade we have a new Shimehari convert!
