Hot sake
The default is "large" (maybe 1 gou?)
plus 150 yen for the hot sake.
First time drinking Shinkame's unpasteurized sake.
And it was freshly pressed!
It has the typical Shinkame flavor, but also has the spreading aroma and sweetness of nama-shu.
A slightly unique sake!
The color is a light yellow, almost colorless and transparent.
The aroma is plump, like that of Chitose candy.
The attack is rather weak and the texture is smooth.
The moment it enters the mouth, it tints the inside of the mouth sweetly and spreads its umami. The lingering finish is rather short, leaving the mouth wanting more right away. Delicious!
It doesn't have much acidity or astringency, so it could be very good for those who like fruity sake like Kaoru-shu, but want to try a new approach. It simply gives you the sweetness and flavor of sake. Sweet sake. Mellow sake.
With a brewing year of 2016, this sake could be called an aged sake, but it is easy to drink without any peculiarities.
I would like to enjoy it with dishes that give me a sense of umami, so I would like to enjoy it with dishes such as stewed morotsu.
It was recommended to drink it cold, so I tried it, but it became more sharp and I know some people like it better this way, but personally I like it at room temperature or so because I can feel the sweetness.

Aroma: Aroma of rice, some mirin (sweet sake)
Taste is sweet like mirin, but the bitterness comes without much aftertaste.
It tastes a little bitter when lukewarm, prefer to drink it hot.
A strong, robust, peculiar Shaoxing wine-like aroma, like an old wine.
No sourness.
Aroma of aged, robust Shaoxing wine-like aroma, not so much sweetness.
The aroma is strong, with a hint of sweetness and no sourness, and the peculiar aroma lingers on in the aftertaste.
Paired with roasted Ezo Deer
The deer itself was not so peculiar, but when paired with a strong, robust dish like this, the smell became less noticeable.
