In a word, "Ojousama".
I've never had Kinmon Nishiki before, but it's so elegant and mature!
The aroma is modest. The aroma is subdued, with a nice mixture of fruitiness and rice-ness. The aroma is subdued.
You can feel both coolness and a sense of luxury. Taste of melon and lychee. A bit of bitterness.
It becomes easy to drink when it is heated up. But personally, I think the bitterness is the key, so chilling it in the refrigerator is the best way to drink it.
It can be paired with relatively lightly-flavored dishes such as sashimi and chilled tofu, as well as with richly-flavored dishes such as boiled fish.
Sake degree +3, Acidity 1.6
Total 64 points (3 points for aroma, 2 points for mouthfeel, 4 points for taste, 4 points for aftertaste, 3 points for concept)
It's a very well-balanced sake, with no outstandingly impressive characteristics, but instead it has a sense of security and stability that makes it easy to drink every day (I'm praising it). It is a good example of a sake for eating.
I had it warmed, but I preferred it chilled (room temperature).
