Sake made for aging with cork
Aged at home in ice for 3 years
I drank it when it was new, and all I remember is that it had a complex flavor, again as a beginner.
The aroma is not aged, but rather the acidity has mellowed.
The aging aroma is a little nutty.
The taste is surprisingly clean and full, with the main flavor being a full-bodied umami.
The acidity is quite rich, but it is well balanced with a hint of sweetness, giving it a moderately dry taste.
Delicious!
I don't know how much the aging process has improved the taste, but at least it was a change in the right direction, not the wrong direction.
If you're interested in home aging, you might want to try it for a longer time.
