The Third Stage of Sake I've Bought in My Hometown of Fukui
This is a sake from Ono City, Fukui Prefecture!
At room temperature, it has a rich sweetness typical of Yamahai.
You'll be surprised by the refreshing sweetness and acidity, just like yogurt (no, seriously, this is yogurt with an aftertaste). After that, it has a rich sweetness like amazake. The power of Yamahai is unbelievable.
It is pleasant when paired with the deep milk fat of Gouda cheese or the acidity of raw mackerel sushi or Chinese salad. On the other hand, it may not go well with anything other than the sourness of vinegar or the richness of milk fat. If that is the case, it would be more appealing to drink it alone.
What if I heat it up?
If you heat it up, it is richer, but it loses a little of the sweetness and sourness of room temperature.
When it cools down a bit, the rich mouthfeel is pleasant and the acidity is rich. The yogurt feeling also came back.
I think it is best served at room temperature or lukewarm to enjoy the freshness of the yogurt-like flavor (just my preference at this time).
