I haven't had a chance to buy alcohol lately, so I bought it at a nearby liquor store. It is nice to be able to buy KID in the neighborhood. It is Junmai Daiginjo and displayed on the shelf at room temperature. It has been a long time since I bought sake at room temperature.
At home, I chill it in the refrigerator, but it tastes better at room temperature. The aroma is gorgeous, and as you would expect from a Junmai Daiginjo, it is beautiful, but it has a rather robust umami taste. It has a slightly bitter taste when chilled, so it is best to drink it at room temperature to enjoy its full flavor.
I used to think that sake is definitely better when chilled, but I was wrong. I feel that I have broadened my horizons a bit.
