The long-awaited Masterpiece Un.
I was surprised by the strong cheese aroma when I opened the package, but it soon settles down and I don't mind. It leaves a faint sweet smell but is quite delicate.
In the mouth, it changes from light and smooth entry to sweetness and flavor.
The taste of ripe Pelican mango and pineapple mixes well with the quality of the sake, and it leaves refreshingly.
It is interesting that the aftertaste is clear but the umami remains for a long time.
This type of sake tends to be delicate and can be used with a wide range of foods, but Un has a strong line of sake quality and can be used with dishes with strong flavors. Of course, it also matches meals with a light flavor. There are many sakes with a similar taste, but the thickness of the line makes it a flagship.
While the 2019-20 A that I drank before was slow and heavy, this one is light and refreshing. It's fun to choose the one that feels right at the time.

The next day at room temperature. Compared to cold sake, it has a fuller and more complex taste, which I like. It is mellow and refreshing.

Two days later, it was served hot. It has a clear outline of sourness and umami, making it a good match. It has an interesting structure, with a classic style that is not typical of Shoshiki, and a clean structure that is typical of Shoshiki.
