Room temperature → Sweet and gorgeous aroma. Mouthfeel is mild but light. Sweetness is intense and light syrupy. There is no sourness, bitterness, or pungency, and the sweetness lingers for a long time.
☆ - 50°C → Aroma is as good as ever. The mouthfeel becomes a little heavier, and the taste and sweetness become more intense and full. Then soft acidity and bitterness. The sweetness is firm, but not at all clingy, probably due to the good balance of flavors.
I have the impression that it goes well with sweet Japanese food such as simmered dishes. It can be enjoyed at room temperature or warmed, but we prefer it warmed for its fullness.
