I thought it was pretty colorful though it was R1by, but it was 2025. Time flies.
The aroma is well matured. The banana-like aroma is covered with the aroma of black tea and mushrooms.
It tastes good even at room temperature. A mature yet clean taste. It has a good balance of sweetness and astringency. However, I have an overwhelming urge to warm it up. Heated!
It's still delicious when heated. It's too delicious. It's too delicious. It's a taste that makes you hungry. I don't think this is in the context of a normal ginjo, but as a heated ginjo, it makes me think this is the right choice. The acidity that comes out as the sake warms up is also pleasant.
It's really tasty!
Evening drink
Benten Musume Tank Pressed Junmai Torihime Arahashiri Nama-Nagara Sake
A limited edition sake specially brewed by Jizakaya Josan for the brewer!
The label on the back recommends heating the sake 👀✨.
First we'll start with a cold one.
Aroma is citrusy with a hint of sourness typical of a sake with sake tail.
Sake degree +16
Not as spicy as I thought it would be. The alcohol content does not seem high and it is light and easy to drink. It is well-balanced with a firm hit of bitterness afterwards 🥰.
To be heated.
Actually, I have never tried heating sake before.
The aroma of the finished heated sake.
The aroma of the finished heated sake is completely different from that of lukewarm sake, which has a fuller, more rice-like aroma.
When you drink it, it's completely different from cold sake.
It's honestly dry, but it has a gentle drinking feel. ☺️
It is a sake that can be drunk in summer with a refreshing taste.
