First, a cold sake Bright red apples that have been allowed to ripen Drink. Mellow and swoony. Aroma of banana, kiwi and canned pineapple syrup. It is extremely sweet, drowning out the acidity. When you swallow, sweet fruitiness. 45°C next. Moist and sedate. The aroma is ladylike and cohesive. Drink. A rich baked apple. It is as sweet as ever. Fullness is also added. Strong sourness. Some astringency on the tongue. If the astringency is up and the sourness is down, it's great! When you swallow it, the sweet and sour taste lingers forever. Next, 55℃. Acid of blue banana. On the other hand, the aroma of boiled apricot. Drink it. First, richness. Next, sweetness like boiled down. Next, a sour taste. When you swallow it, the whole bottom is sweet and sour. Finally, 65℃. It sits quietly and solidly. Drink. The most extreme sweetness. Yellow kiwi in the middle. Sweet and sour. When you swallow it, it's just so sweet! Too sweet for me. It's too subtle before, during, or after a meal. The Sakura I drank in April was the best, so I guess I expected too much. I was hoping it would turn the corner from 45°C, but it seems to have gone in a negative direction for me! I won't be repeating this one per se. I would like to try a different brand though. That cherry makes it unavoidable.
