I've been interested in Kitajima since last year.
It has a fresh body with a hint of gas and a pleasant citrus-like acidity🍊.
The bitterness comes at the end, so it can be used as a food wine as well.
I became a big fan at once. ☺️
Jay & Nobby, you are quintessential!
Of course I love meagre brands, but w
I want to be a drinker who can talk about these brands...
I will keep referring to your posts 🙇.

It has a sharpness. The aftertaste has a delicious rice flavor. It is fully fermented, but there is still some sweetness.
Subdued but mellow rice aroma.
Contains cooked rice, Japanese pear, and a faint hint of sericin.
Dry, sharp, clear mouthfeel.
The umami has a good density.
It is sharp and crisp.
Spicy and delicious.

A nice mix of rice flavor and lactic acidity.
I was told by the liquor store that it goes well with Chinese food, so we had it with mapo tofu 😃I see what you mean, heated sake is very interesting!
I like it ⒋5/5
Hot, hot sake.

The umami comes in a big push.
There is also a hint of cooked chestnuts and herbs in the back.

Modern.
It is good by itself,
It is even better with yuzu miso.

This is my first time 🍶😋.
I've always wanted to drink heated sake and was curious about the frog 🐸 on the label, so I finally got to try it 😉.
When served lukewarm with the lees mixed in, it tasted extremely sour and tangy, but as I raised the temperature it seemed to calm down a bit 🤔.
