タロウ
It's a draft sake, but it has been in the fridge for more than 2 weeks after opening, so it's just for reference. I remember thinking it was delicious the day I opened the bottle.
The color is slightly tinted, but it is clear.
Aroma of koji (malted rice), like a nama-shu, and the fruit is 3:1 apple and banana. Pineapple with a hint of apple.
Oh, it still tastes good. The sweetness is the main taste, but it is well-balanced and not too harsh. The small round shape swells up in the mouth and can be easily swallowed.
I heated it up. Surprisingly, it is not bad. The graininess in the aroma increases, giving it a texture and nuance that was not present in the cold sake. The texture is smoother. The aroma and taste may be different for different tastes because of the increased grain and plantiness.
This is just plain delicious. The freshness of the sake is well balanced with a slight sense of maturity.
