inami
First, it is served at room temperature. The mouthfeel is soft and you can feel the flavor of the rice at its best. It is full, but not harsh like alcohol. It's very good.
I warm it up. It's mellow on the palate, with no unpleasant aftertaste, and you can taste the umami and sweetness of the rice. It doesn't have much character when heated, but it's nice to be able to drink a heated sake of this quality when it's cold in winter. This is a sake that is twice as good.
