＜Powerful, high quality, dry, for heating only.
This is a heated sake from Jyoshinin Jiheiji.
When tasted cold (at room temperature), it is a little bitter! Yeah. It's totally different from the usual Kuheiji!
Now for the real thing. I'll start with hot sake (50°C).
The aroma is spicy alu-woo!
In the mouth, it's crisp and dry. The bitterness of the cold version is gone, and the flavor is crisp. It seems to be sharp, but the aftertaste is gentle. The sweetness is very slight and almost imperceptible.
At around 40 degrees Celsius (lukewarm), it has a faint sweetness and acidity, and the bitterness that comes out at around 35 degrees Celsius (warm) is also present. The bitterness that comes out at around 35°C (35°F) is also present. But I liked it at around 45°C (45°F) to 50°C (50°F).
The dryness was still completely different from the usual Jiheiji-san. But the cleanliness is the same.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be Kushana from "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. She is another heroine who is the counterpart of Nausicaa, but she is not sweet at all, she has a strong will power.
Satisfaction: ★★★★
I will post the full version on my blog, complete with character images and such. If you'd like, you can search for "korune sake" or come from the link in my profile section.
