Cold sake
Cold and deep. Feel the warmth as if you were standing in a kamakura. The rest is a garage in winter in Niigata.
Drink. Niigata Classic! The nostalgia of a bottle placed haphazardly at room temperature. Nostalgic Niigata sake! The coolness on the tip of the tongue and the sourness and richness of the rice felt at the back of the tongue. When you swallow it, it is dry and full of flavor.

This rice! The nostalgic aroma of room temperature sake
Drink it. It goes into the mouth loosely. It rampages through the nasal cavity. Intense richness of rice, strong bitterness. It is heavy and thick like heavy water. When you swallow it, the mellow alcohol stings the back of your throat.
55°C
Lactic acidity and a new aroma of wood.
Drink it. The acidity gives it a crisp mouthfeel. However, it becomes thicker as it rolls. The fullness and bitterness are both "Junmai". Only the rice is there. When you swallow it, a little acidity tightens the mouth.
65°C
For a moment, it reminded me of hot milk with honey. It reminded me of the famous sake "Senkou".
Drink. Black and white classic. The sourness like iron rust is a frowning silver. It is smooth even after rolling for a while. The thickening component seems to have disappeared during this 10℃. Perhaps because of this, the flavor is clearer and sharper. The corners of the acidity stand up, the richness is suppressed, and the bitterness is straight. When you swallow it, you can feel the elements of a relaxed beer.
Nostalgic, but honestly.
It will not be a repeat. Because the nostalgia makes me want to cry irresistibly.
