🎞️ Industrial Spy / 産業スパイ (1968) x 🍶 Kuroushi Junmai Ginjo Nama Genshu Omachi

Time for a gritty industrial thriller, featuring the charismatic Tatsuo Umemiya! With a punchy yet super smooth omachi sake - aromas of ripe banana, muscovado, and cream, well balanced with a sharp hint of umami. Another great Kuroushi!

🎞️ Tora-san Meets the Songstress Again / 男はつらいよ 寅次郎相合い傘 (1975) x 🍶 Niida Shizenshu Kimoto Melon 3.33

It’s not summer without Tora-san, wonderful Lily, and a super juicy melon sake! ☀️🍈🧳 I love pairing this sake with Tora-Sam films because it has a heartwarming and somewhat nostalgic taste - punchy Charentais melon with the deep kimoto savouriness, and a delicate sweetness. 😋🩵
