First, cold sake.
Quietly done peach. Pineapple
Drink. Piriri. Immediately soft sweetness. Like syrup from a pineapple can. When swallowed, a good astringency lingers in the center of the tongue.
Next, 45 degrees.
More freshness from the pineapple.
Drink. Gentle and gradual sweetness. It yields and unravels the body. The pineapple is overripe in the midsummer sun and even fragrant. But the sweetness is moderate.
When you swallow it, it leaves a powdery astringency in your throat and goes down easily.
Next, 55℃.
It was boiled down to a plumpness. It gives off the scent of rice and has the dignity of smoked silver.
Drink it. It is sweet. It is like a persimmon in late autumn. The acidity has come to stand out. When you roll it, richness and pleasant alcohol fill the nostrils. When you swallow, you may feel a refreshing flavor for a moment, but it quickly turns into sweetness and bitterness
The final temperature is 65°C.
The sweetness is like boiled down pineapple syrup. The aroma of grilled straw.
Drink. It is sweet and fragrant. It is not thick and not smooth. It is loose. When it is swallowed, the sourness and the bitterness which remain on the tongue
For me, 55℃ is the most delicious. You can drink it with ease and comfort.
But the pineapple sweetness is so strong that it is difficult for me to drink it during meals.
I probably won't repeat it.
