Kab
Slightly gassy. The aroma is mild and does not have the apple aroma of the brand image.
From room temperature. There is a fair amount of acidity, followed by a delayed expansion of the bitterness of the alcohol and the umami of the rice. The way the umami comes out is pleasant. After that, it slowly becomes sharp.
The second day, it is served cold. It has a strong sweet and sour acidity with a hint of green apple. Not much umami.
On the third day, it was heated to 40°C (104°F). It has a sourness close to room temperature, but it also has a sourness and bitterness. It has some umami and is more sharp than at lower temperatures, which is not unpleasant.
The gasiness distinguishes it from other junmai. Personally, I would say this is a cold sake with a little apple modernity of the brand image. It is a modern classic junmai with umami, although I prefer a slightly bitter taste and a bit more sharpness.
