Smell of rice, lactic acid
It starts with a thin, slightly ricey feeling, then the aroma of fermented rice, pungency, a little sweetness, a pungent taste that tingles in the throat and sometimes spicy like chili peppers, and a lingering sour and bitter taste. Umami lingers in the aftertaste.
As the temperature rises, it has a gentle taste with umami, alcohol, spiciness, and a bit of sweetness. Delicious.
