Uedatsuka - like cooked rice
The aroma becomes weaker.
Taste
Alcohol taste becomes stronger
Warmed (55℃)
Taste
The taste of the rice becomes stronger, and you can feel that it is a solid sake.
Warmed(45℃)
Oh, the balance of acidity is great! But when the temperature drops a little, the acidity disappears...
Thoughts: Is the optimal temperature too narrow at the moment? Expect more in the future!
Cold sake
Aroma
Weak overall.
Taste
The bitterness (astringency) comes before the sweetness and umami.
Thoughts: I think it is not good for cold sake.
Keep at room temperature.
