たろけん
Attracted by the Hidahomare sake rice from Gifu Prefecture, we purchased a bottle and opened it immediately.
When I opened the bottle, the first thing I noticed was the smell of rum.
I first drank it cold, and although I could tell it was a dry sake, I had the impression that it was not very distinctive.
The next time I drank it heated, which is a popular drink at my house, my impression completely changed. The umami, sweetness, slight acidity, and fullness of the rice came out in full force, and since it is basically a dry sake, it did not interfere with the meal at all, making it a very tasty sake that we were very satisfied with.
When I looked online, I found that there were very few stores around here that carried this sake, so I am grateful to the sake gods that I was able to have a chance encounter with it.
