I was too lazy to drink it, but I decided to.
I left it at 13°C for about a year.
Pale yellow. It seems to have a slight bluish tint.
The aroma is more fruity than I expected. The aroma is calm, but it's apple and banana. There is a little bit of cemedine in it, and a sweetness like a white bean.
Quite dry. Mild acidity and even milder bitterness. The texture is more interesting than the taste, with minerality, astringency, and a fine roughness reminiscent of lime.
Warm it up.
Warming to lukewarm increases the volume of the sweetness and other flavors. The taste is not rich or clean, but the stress of the liquid as you swallow it is very strong. However, there is no stress when swallowing the liquid, so it is easy to drink.
It is a tasty sake, but it is not a clear-cut tasty sake! It is a good sake, but it is not a "clear" sake. The flavor will probably change if you let it sit for a while, but I don't think it was made with that in mind.
It has no disturbing elements, but there are not many special elements either. It's like that.
It is best drunk with friends around a brazier or a sunken hearth, with a bowl of soba noodles, grilled fish, and soup. Such a scene suits me.
