mirin
My preference ★★★★☆
100% Gohyakumangoku rice produced in Chiba Prefecture
Polishing ratio 55
Unlike the label and the impression of the rice polishing ratio, this sake has a strong sense of mature sake, with a strong sense of rice.
Room temperature→Aroma like soy sauce or Shaoxing sake. Light but mellow on the palate. The umami comes strongly, followed by a little acidity and later sweetness. The mouthfeel is like maple syrup and has a long aftertaste.
☆ 50-60℃ → Clearer than room temperature, but highly aromatic. Mouthfeel is more mellow while the base remains light. The mouthfeel is light, but the base is mellower and more rounded. The taste is like Shaoxing wine and dried fruits. It has a strong umami at room temperature, but warming it up opens it up even more. It goes well with simmered dishes and dishes with strong flavors.
