Good evening. I am a cold sake supremacist. But sometimes I want to know the goodness of room temperature sake. I bought a bottle of Gunma-izumi at the first store I went to with this in mind! It is a representative of cold and hot sake! What do you think? Let's get to it!
The aroma is more intense than floral, with a strong, full, sweet rice aroma. The soft mouthfeel has a sweetness as if you are eating fluffy rice, and the sourness that surrounds it is very nice. It is an amazing sake that makes you realize that this is what the flavor of rice is all about. It is a strong, full-bodied sake with a lot of sharpness. It is a classic sake, and I think it is a sake for a select group of people. However, it is a dangerous sake in the sense that it disappears before you know it if you keep drinking it with half a doubt in your mind. If you really want to enjoy a classic sake, you should drink Gunma-izumi. I don't have any at the moment, but I will write about my impressions of the hot sake later, so please wait a little while. Thank you again for the food and drink tonight!
P.S.
I tried heating it up. Oh, the good aroma of the rice is still there, but the umami of the rice has been added to the richness, the acidity has become sharper, and finally there is a moment of concentrated sweetness and a strong sharpness, just like a classic royal road.
