Hikomago Junmai Daiginjo 2005 Brewing
It was probably kept at a temperature below refrigeration, so the strong coloring and Maillard-like aroma are not strong.
The color is crystal to yellow, and the aroma is of tropical fruits. Pineapple, melon, banana, or something along those lines.
The palate is very smooth and slightly mineral, but smooth and pleasant to drink. The taste is mainly sweet and the acidity is not that strong.
I have had some old Daiginjo-style sake from Ryuriki, but this is close to it. The flavor is a bit dry. I don't think it is weak because it is a hikoginjo, so if a daiginjo is aged at a low temperature, it will probably change in this way.
Sake aging. If possible, I would like to systematize the changes caused by aging by assigning parameters such as storage period, sake quality, and storage temperature. But the storage temperature is too difficult for my hobby...
