The second half of June and the beginning of July is the second busiest time of the year for us because of the addition of seasonal work to our regular work. I've been drinking, but I haven't felt like posting on Sake-no-Wawa... Hmmm, I must be tired. I'd like to pick up my pace little by little, as the end of such a period is in sight. Now, sake. Yamagata sake! The classic sake, suitable for warming up. The label on the back says it can be enjoyed lukewarm. I started with it cold (room temperature). When I poured it into a glass, it was a pale tortoiseshell color. Just looking at the color of the sake, my expectations for heating it up were heightened. Just like the color, the aroma and taste have a sweetness like tortoise candy, but with a hint of alcohol. Okay, heated sake. I didn't look at the label carefully at the time and somehow ended up heating it up (laugh). The aroma is full of sourness from the alcohol. When you drink it, the acidity of the alcohol is more pronounced than when it is chilled, and then the umami of the rice comes through. But it has little of the classic peculiarities and is surprisingly refreshing, so even heated sake goes down easy. Heated sake is good!
