Color
The color is a little lighter than the color of mountain ash.
Aroma
A little smoky like scotch whiskey, but also gorgeous.
Aroma and aftertaste are strong, and the aroma fades slightly.
Taste
Attack Soft
Sweetness Almost not felt
Acidity I feel a little apple acidity.
Umami The taste of the rice is strong. It remains on the tongue for a while.
Bitterness (Shibumi) Firm astringency at a very early stage.
Alcohol: None
Aging A little.
Food served with
Kimchi nabe again (busy day for nabe) ★★★★★
The balance of indescribable flavor and astringency goes well with dishes with strong flavors.
Warmed sake (around 60℃)
Taste
The astringency is stronger now, but it's good!
Cooled (40℃)
Oh, the astringency has weakened and the acidity has risen!
Impression: When I drank this sake in the past, I thought it was refreshing and easy to drink, but now it has a nice astringency? The taste changes depending on the temperature range, but they're all very tasty and it would be fun to drink them at different temperatures depending on the food!
From now on: leave at room temperature
