The 200 check-in is at Ishikawa Sake. Tengu Mai has been seen often this year and seems to be remarkably active. Purchased a bottle of new sake.
Started with cold sake on the first day. The aroma is like a mixture of alcohol and cemedine. It also has a freshness. When you drink it, the rich rice flavor with caramel-like sweetness rises gradually, and the pungency rather than bitterness is moderate, but it gradually fades away.
Heated to 40°C on the second day. The aroma is a bit greenish, and the flavor is also caramel-like with sweetness. Not much change at 45℃.
Surprisingly, it does not have much sharpness, and for this type of sake, the sweetness and acidity are a bit weak. It has more sharpness when heated. I think this may be due to the fact that it is still fresh.
The umami is expressed very well, with a high degree of perfection. It is a little out of the strike zone, but one cannot help but admire it.

Lab, good evening & congratulations on 200 check-ins, and Ishikawa sake. As a resident of Ishikawa, I am very happy. I guess that's the best part of Yamahai. I'm sure it will have a different charm when heated.

Kab, congratulations on your 200 check-ins: ㊗️🎊
I tend to be more of the modern type, so Kab's post is very helpful for me, as I prefer a slightly more classical style.
Continue your drunken sake life 🍶.
