What an old sake! I made it old sake, but the cork was suspect because of my taking it home. I was going to enjoy it with the owner of a sake bar, but I decided to try it alone.
Oh no!
The color, intensity, and aroma are low. The mouthfeel is strong. Great flavor as it rolls around in the mouth. It has the richness of a red wine, the flavor of a dark white wine, and the clarity of a clear wine. And yet, it is still sake.
On the third day, the old sake component and the acidity fuse together perfectly. It has a corner of umami. When paired with a meal, it adds smoothness and is at its best! The aging process has developed the richness, acidity, and umami.
