Aroma and aftertaste
Taste
Attack A little tingling on the tongue.
Sweetness Not so much
Acidity Not so much.
Umami It is soft but firm. The taste is like white bean jam rather than rice.
Bitterness It has the bitterness of Niigata's dry style.
Alcohol: Much softer than when just opened.
Aging: Even though it has only been aged for about a week, the umami has become very strong and the alcoholic sensation has softened.
Food paired with
Kimchi nabe (Ryuji)★★★★★
How many times is this kimchi nabe?
It has a strong flavor and goes great with spicy food!
Kanzake (around 45°C)
If you warm it up lukewarm, the flavor stands out even more and the bitterness becomes mellow!
Thoughts: It's amazing how much it's changed after just a week of aging. It's not dry in the sense that Niigata dry sake is, but it's delicious and spicy, and lukewarm heating is very good.
Future proof: Room temperature
