[Aftertaste.
Medium. When heated, the umami and natural sweetness of the rice spreads, gently tightened by mild acidity and bitterness.
Impression: A classic umakuchi that looks great warmed up.
First, a sip of cold sake. A pure rice with a gentle sweetness and simple umami that is typical of Fukushima.
When heated to 45-50℃, the umami opens up and the sweetness becomes more pronounced, giving it a "dashi-like roundness" that is typical of Aizu junmai.
It is a serious sake that is not overly aromatic and has a harmony of umami and acidity, and it really comes into its own when heated.
Pairing
Great with oden (Japanese stew). (The flavor of the dashi broth and the fullness of the heated sake synergize to make the best pairing.)
Repeat Score] 2.0
