It has a moderate grain aroma and a light sense of maturity with a hint of lactic acidity. From cool to chilled, it has a slightly rounded texture, with a stringy acidity and a soft umami with a moderate sweetness, and from the mid-palate, it is crisp with a deep complexity, with a light bitterness and a lingering faint astringency. Overall, the flavor is strong but delicate. As the temperature goes from sunny to warm, the acidity becomes more apparent, and the bitterness also becomes more pronounced. At 60 degrees, the acidity is more noticeable, although there is some masking at 60 degrees. At 55 degrees, the acidity weakens a bit and the balance improves, and at 45 degrees, the acidity is tangy but smooth and easy to drink. Personally, I like it cold or lukewarm, and after a little time and effort, I enjoy it warmed up or cooled down after 60 degrees Celsius. It is a delicious sake this season as well.
