Aburacho Brewery
Kaze no Mori ALPHA5 Heated SAKE Exploration
80% Akitsuho, Nara Prefecture
14% (with a minimum of 2.5 liters)
Appearance
Slightly greenish yellow
No nigorigo
Carbonated with bubbles
Top Notes
iodine and green laver when fresh from the refrigerator
Aroma
Banana, oily dairy, maple syrup, and a hint of espresso after the temperature range is raised.
Fruity aromas, but I can't tell.
Flavor
Cold, the first thing you notice is a light sourness, later sweetness and a hint of bitterness, well balanced.
When heated, the acidity becomes more pronounced, making it slightly difficult to drink.
Best when cooled (10-20℃), it has a bitter taste but still has body, making it suitable as a mid-meal drink.
Body
Lightly carbonated and pleasant to drink when cold.
Medium-bodied when cooled and warmed, it has a moist body that masks the mouthfeel.
Overall impression
Best served warmed or chilled
I thought it would go well with seaweed, but it didn't.
I'd like to try it with sashimi
Matching Meals
Steamed Chinese cabbage, steamed pork and steamed beef
Seasoned laver (strong flavor)
