Here is an introduction to the Tottori-based "Benten Musume H29BY14th Musume Wakaozakura-cho Tamakae Junmai-shu" 😋 First of all, it says to drink it warmed up 📝, so I had it twice, once cold and once warmed up, to see how it changed 👀As stated, the warmed up version has a milder aroma and is easier to drink and has a light, mature flavor. So it's a refreshing and introductory mellow sake 🤔.
Color and viscosity
Yellow, slightly low
[Aroma/Example].
Slightly stronger. It is a straightforward maturing aroma, with not much other aroma.
[Mouthfeel].
Middle-light, slightly cool mouthfeel.
[Taste, sweetness and spiciness].
Neutral in sweetness and spiciness. The palate is a mixture of water and ripeness, with a mild umami taste. No astringency.
[Aroma / Aftertaste
It has a straightforward ripe aroma with a slightly sharp impression. The aftertaste is short and rather simple due to the lightness of the sake.
Aroma Classification / Character
Ripe sake. A crisp, clean and mature sake. The umami, pungency, bitterness and tongue heat are all moderate. You can taste the water and the ripe flavor straight away. When heated, the aroma becomes milder and you can feel the fullness of the rice. As a result, the whole sake becomes rounder and easier to drink. The spiciness also increases, giving it a more light and refreshing feel, and the way it transforms into a sake to be enjoyed with food is truly Benten Musume. Miso pickled vegetables and salted yakitori etc👍.
