I remember that this product was very tasty when it was released in winter as a new sake, so I bought it again and drank it again as an experiment to see how it would change after half a year had passed!
The grape-like nuance that I felt when I drank it right after its release is still there somewhere. The cemedine-like flavor is stronger and more pleasant on the nose than in the overtones. I think the floral notes that started out are a bit absent.
It has a characteristic sweetness similar to syrup. The umami is of course present, but the sweetness is more noticeable now because the acidity is less pronounced than it was during the new sake period.
However, it is not without acidity, which may lead to juiciness... It is indeed not as juicy as the release period, but it is still there.
It's better after about 5 minutes than right after pouring it in the glass... and more importantly, after the second day, it's more cohesive and far more enjoyable to drink.
The acidity is also present, and a banana-like quality comes out...it's so good that you wonder what the first day was all about!
