Cold sake
Pale green apple and kiwi. Clear enough to see beyond.
Drink. Spicy and gassy. Canned pineapple syrup. Pale, very sweet. Ripe kiwi. Carbonated freshness as you swallow. Bitterness that sticks to the tongue.
45℃.
Fresh fruitiness with sourness. Still early green apple
Drinking. As soon as it seems to enter the mouth without any resistance, the tip of the tongue is immediately tingling. Immediately after that, a solid bitterness with the piquancy stays as if digging into the center of the tongue. When you swallow it, the rich Junmai alcohol rises in your throat.
55℃.
The alcohol is strong. Fragrant, clear and milky in the back.
When you drink it. It is very smooth. Sourness, milky, bitterness and richness in that order. The flavor fills the mouth. When you drink it, it is pale and sweet, but firm. Is it really Junmai Daiginjo?
65°C
Lactic acidity. A view of snow. Shinshin, snow
Drink it. It is thick and milky sweetness. It is very sweet, but not unpleasant. Bitterness and a strong richness. Ecstasy. When you swallow it, the richness explodes quietly.
The high temperature range is the best. I have never felt this unique nuance in any other sake.
You taste it in your mouth. Before you put down the sake cup, you make a U-turn and prepare for the next sip.
What a shameful sake!
Kamonishiki, I will repeat it!
