Taste & Aroma
The first sip was chilled in a refrigerator. The top aroma is mild, but fruity like melon. In the mouth, it is slightly spicy, but overall it is calm and has a subtle umami flavor. When swallowed, it also has a bitter taste and a slightly complex aftertaste. At this point, the sake has umami and a bitter aftertaste, but the spiciness/sweetness and gravity are normal, and I thought it was a sake without much character.
However, as it became more lukewarm, it became more distinctive. It was sweet and very fruity on the palate. As it continued in the mouth, it became more umami and complex, and one could enjoy the changes in flavor. The bitterness of the aftertaste was not as strong as when it was cold, and the sharpness was pleasant as it gradually receded.
Matching dishes
This time we paired it with yellowfin tuna sashimi and mapo tofu. It is not a bad match, but the bitterness in the aftertaste is a little noticeable, so it would go well with meat dishes or rich dishes with a lot of salt and oil.
