🏆2023 10 personal sake selections
Nama sake, but as a matter of course (?) Store at room temperature (at your own risk, of course!!!) Store at room temperature (at your own risk, of course!).
It is already getting drunk, but it was too cold on the day of opening the bottle, so I started at 50℃.
It has a slightly alcoholic but also sugary-sweet aroma.
When you drink it, it has a sweetness and deliciousness like cotton candy, but it also has a cleanness that makes you wonder if it has been 5 years. It also has a spiciness to it, and it gets sharp. The spiciness is also very nice and sharp.
At 60℃, you would expect it to become even spicier, but instead it becomes milder, and the sweetness becomes more orangey, and you can really feel it. Personally, I find it hard to say no to the sharpness at lower temperatures, but this one is the best by a narrow margin.
It is good when cooled down as well, not much different from the highest temperature.
I will try it at room temperature. It is still the same. A cotton candy-like sweetness and a slight alu taste come to the fore. There is not much sharpness.
It has three different temperatures: sugary room temperature, sharp hot sake, and fruity hot sake. It shows different expressions at different temperatures. Much cleaner than I expected, and it's aged well with a nice sharpness, especially at medium temperatures. I was reminded of 2018, and the cleanliness of the sake, and I was also struck by the fact that it wasn't as heavy as I thought it would be at 5 years old.
