Drinking out after a long time.
Very pleasant from noon with friends in the neighborhood.
Menu
From "Surprisingly Delicious Hot Sake".
Order something with a strong rice flavor (2)
Sweet aroma, not harsh at all.
It's cleaner and a little more acidic than (1).
I think I like it better than (1).
Asahitsu Shuzo Junmai Nama Genshu Juji Asahitsu
This is a sake from Shimane.
It's sticky and a little sweet like a nama-gara-shu, but it also has a little semedyne smell, so it's either easy to drink or hard to drink lol.
It's not a fruity sake at all.
It has a complex taste.
This sweetness may have been caused by the fact that I paired it with miso-flavored tori-nabe.
Last year's (R1BY) hiyaoroshi was served hot.
The umami of the rice spreads, and it has a good sense of maturity.
I thought there was one too many gingko nuts, but it seems the shop put them...

Warmed. It's been a while since I've had a heated sake that made me numb.
It's a little mellow at room temperature, but as soon as it's heated up
It goes down your throat smoothly and you can taste the rice flavor. I love it.
The taste changes with temperature change. It's been a while since I've had a tricky drink.
It has a strong habit, so I think it's quite divisive.
The first sip was like, "What? But after that, the flavor became a habit.

Food to pair with
Kimchi nabe ★★★★★ It goes well with nabe!

Warmed Sake (around 45℃)
-Aroma Aroma
Huh? Is the caramel gone?
Taste
The sourness has come out! I don't feel any sweetness or bitterness anymore, and the acidity completely wins.
Cooking with
Kimchi-nabe and natto-zosui (rice porridge with kimchi and natto) ★★★★★ The acidity stands out and goes well with rice.
Impressions: The character changes quite a bit between hiya and heated, but I like both and want to enjoy them with rice that goes well with each!
Future brew: I'll let it sit at room temperature.
The same rice and the same polish were used to compare drinking of raw sake and fire-roasted sake. I enjoyed the strength and freshness of this sake. This is my favorite sake with a lot of punch.
