越の酒好き
Mature sake, rich and dry.
The complex, matured, concentrated rice aroma and flavor unique to old sake comes through with a thump. However, there is no unpleasant cloying taste, and it is refreshing.
It is characterized by round sweetness, complex astringency, and acidity.
It does not have a sharp aftertaste, but has a long aftertaste.
When heated, the umami of the rice becomes more pronounced, and the complex astringency and acidity become milder and more pleasant!
It's been a while since I've had heated sake, but the first sip made me say "woohoo" and the flavor soaked into the cracks of my cells.
