It had a unique sweetness that came from getting simmered in dashi stock, and the stock was purposely let dripping into the rice, creating a rather wet and sticky texture. The rice itself was not the typical as it came with strands of barley, making it feel like something that your mum will cook for you after a long exhausting day. Came with this set meal but not pictured were miso soup and mini dessert — Grace Piece Tea Jelly — made from fermented darjeeling tea leaves that create a refreshing muscat flavour. That was the perfect dessert to cleanse our palate before the sake tasting begun.
