I wonder if Gohyakumangoku can be this mellow. It is +4, so the mouthfeel is certainly tangy, but it feels much sweeter. It also has a slightly bubbly taste. The second half, when the ori comes in, is much thicker...

Composed mainly of sweet and sour flavors. It tastes like apple and apricot 🍎.
The flavor slowly starts to develop and then slowly fades away 🤗.
It is a sake that makes you calm 🍶.
It was my first experience of drinking junmai ginjo heated, but the fruity aroma was enhanced, and when I drank the heated sake and ate dried persimmon cheese, the sensation of the cheese melting and spreading warm was devilish, leading me to what can only be described as a state of bliss.
I wondered if the mouth-opening drink was haunted? I went to see. As it turns out, it quickly settles down from peach/melon type fruity. There is a slight gassy feeling, but it is basically mellow. It is easy to drink, with no unpleasant taste. It is a good sake. I think I can get to a moderate distance from it without drinking too much.
