Chilled first. It is clear, moderately dry, and has a strong sense of alcohol. It also has a woody aroma. The rice flavor is pleasant. It gives the impression of a classic sake, but there is a hint of muscat-like sweetness in the aftertaste. It doesn't interfere with the sake, but the presence of the sake is still there.
Next, I tried heating it up. The rice flavor and sweetness came to the fore, giving it a delicious, classic junmai sake feel. Personally, I prefer it heated!
I went from heated to cold again and found it to be fruity and thought I might like it better.
I thought it was fruity and I still prefer it.
