The best sake. The best
Consensus: This is the best balanced sake I've had recently. It's almost like an old Shaoxing wine or a whisky, but with an amazing gentleness. Definitely a great food wine to go with any dish. If I could have it all the time, I would have it all the time.
Warmed sake (around 60℃)
Taste
There is no sharpness to any of the flavors, and it has a wonderful balance that permeates more as the temperature rises. Even when the temperature drops, the balance is excellent.
Future: It's already perfected, but I'll leave it at room temperature for now. I'll buy more if I can.
