Cold sake
Overwhelming silence. Overwhelmingly clean. So much so that you are afraid to drink it. You can't help but keep smelling it, as if you were playing with paint thinner.
I drink it. I can't think of anything to say. I can't express it in words. It's definitely one of the top three cold sake I've ever had. At this point, I don't even think about whether it's good or bad. Joy, emotion, ecstasy

Extremely calm. I want to smell it all the time. I don't even think I need to drink it.
But drink it! Gentle, but with a hint of burnt old wood of some kind. So much different from the namaishu I drank before! After drinking it, my mind and palate tighten up like after a sermon!
Next, 50°C.
The aroma is very sedate. It expands into a horizontal oval shape.
Drink. Something suddenly opens up. It's like reuniting with a distant best friend for the first time in years. There is something embarrassing about it. The pleasant bittersweetness would not be felt only with the tongue
Finally, 60°C.
Silence again. purity
Drink. The balance of flavor, sweetness, and richness! I can't say anything. I can only keep nodding my head. I just want to express my respect.
This is a history of me drinking. No matter how you drink it, it's delicious. A bottle of tears of joy. Enjoy it alone on a quiet night, with your phone turned off. There is nothing there but joy and happiness!

Later, it was heated and cooled from 65 to 60 degrees Celsius. As always, a joy that needs no explanation. A little acidity comes out, giving it a deeper flavor. If there's one thing that makes this sake great, it's the aroma. There is no need to drink it. Just smelling it makes you happy, it's the one and only sake!
