I bought my first bottle of Hatsukame from Shizuoka to try a different kind of sake.
When I opened the bottle and poured it into a glass, the aroma was very good and my expectations soared.
When I tried it immediately... what? I can't taste it? There's no scent coming through the nose at all.
It may sound a little over the top, but if I were to use an analogy, I'd say it's like drinking water.
If you say it's easy to drink, it is, but I like the aroma of sake that comes out of my nose when I put it in my mouth.
So, personally, I won't be repeating it.
Postscript
I had it warmed up the next day.
The aroma was enhanced and it was even easier to drink.
I'll try it hot next time.

Hello, Totoshi ^ ^.
I don't know how you drank it, but the back label says the recommended drinking temperature is between 8°C and 40°C. Wouldn't you feel the taste and aroma more in the higher temperature range?

Thank you for your comment, Manta-san.
I like cold sake, so I had it cold.
I also noticed the recommended temperature later, so I'll give it a try tonight!
