A collaboration product between Drunken Whale and Koikeya.
First, try it cold.
It goes in quietly and smoothly.
The sweetness is restrained and the bitterness is a little strong.
You can also taste a little sourness.
The aftertaste leaves a strong impression.
I tried pairing it with the bonito sakatobori flavor of paired potato chips, but the bitter taste of the potato chips is not that strong despite the name "sakatobori," so the bitterness of the sake is more pronounced.
The bonito strawbaked with sake was a better match for the sake.
The bitterness of the straw-roasted bonito helps to reduce the bitterness of the split.
I warmed the sake to lukewarm.
The lactic acidity is very strong.
The acidity intensifies and the heat lingers on the tongue.
This one is more acidic and would probably go well with potato chips.
Next, we warmed it up.
The mild sweetness is also present, and the sharpness of the acidity is reduced.
The acidity is less sharp, and the strength is strong and tingling on the tongue.
The last sake was hot.
The sourness is not zero, but it is suppressed and slightly bitter.
In conclusion, I think the best pairing with potato chips would be lukewarm heating.
