ひでゆき
This is the second bottle of Chogen this fall. At the time of the nama-shu, I wondered what was wrong with it this year. Other breweries, when they were making the nama-shu, seemed to think they had too much Yamae-nishiki or that Yamae-nishiki was bad.
It was a sake that needed time.
Drinking it now, it still needs more time. I decided to open it and enjoy it slowly.
At 14.5 degrees, the alcohol content is high.
I tried to make it milder by mixing it with a little water.
It might be interesting to try heating it up to lukewarm in the future.

On the second day, the nastiness is still quite strong, but it is good with 10-20% hot water!
Day 3. The balance between the nastiness, umami, and spiciness has been achieved. I tried heating it to lukewarm. This is good. I'm looking forward to drinking it in the future!
