Naraman純米生酒 おりがらみ
Kab
Opened the bottle without difficulty. The aroma is surprisingly alcohol-like in some areas, but is still strongly melon-like, as one would expect from the image. The gasiness is slight.
When you drink it, it has a slight peachy sweetness, followed by the umami of the rice, and then, almost at the same time, a strong bitterness and spiciness, and it finishes rather quickly, which is unusual for a new sake.
Even when it is close to room temperature, it is still at a high level.
On the fourth day, I tried heating it up, and there is not much difference between 40°C and 45°C, except that the gassiness disappears; at 50°C, the sweetness is mild and the sharpness is good, and surprisingly, I think it is better to heat it up (it may be because it is a very cold day).
It is modern, but has a classic aftertaste, which I quite like. The bitterness is at the perfect level to keep the balance, and I don't mind it.
It goes well with light dishes.
