A quick follow-up to my post about Momokawa’s Joy genshu sake… The boldness of Joy made me think it might be good with one of my favorite snack foods – Fritos, cream cheese and caviar (don’t judge until you’ve tried it).  HOWEVER, even this genshu is still too “sweet” to go well with that particular flavor combination.  Or maybe it just has too many flavors going on; either way – it doesn’t work nearly as well as I had hoped.  So for now I’ll stick with dry champagne or vodka with my caviar (and even then, some vodkas can taste too sweet when paired with this combination of salty and tangy).

Cheers.
