First packaged sake review.
At room temperature, it has a slight alcohol taste, but it has the umami flavor and sharpness typical of 70% polished sake. The impression is of a deliciously dry sake.
Warming the sake to 45-50°C (45-50°F) eases the alcohol taste on the palate, and the warmed sake softens the umami flavor, which spreads softly before quickly clearing up. It has a slight alcohol aftertaste, but it has the lightness of an aruze, and if well heated, it has the potential to be used as a mid-meal sake for everyday drinking.
