Kab
It was my first time drinking this brand, but I was looking forward to buying it, following the owner's recommendation, as I thought it would suit my taste, with its image of sharpness, balance, and perfection.
On the first day, I started with a light cold sake because I got home late from stocking up. It is fire-aged, but it has a sweet aroma and a gaseous feeling.
When you drink it, it has a slightly carbonated sweetness and a fizzy feeling like that of pears. It becomes a little sticky in the middle, but the umami expands like a smoothie of rice and pears. It tastes exactly like rice.
It has a spicy, bitter, acidic taste and it is very refreshing.
On the second day, it cools down. It has more soda-like taste, but the sourness and bitterness become stronger.
On the 4th day, it is heated to 40℃. The aroma is orangey, the acidity is stronger, and it tastes like lemon and ripe oranges. It finishes with a bitter or pungent taste. At 45°C, the sourness comes first, so if you want to warm it up, we recommend 40°C or lower.
This is more modern than I expected, but it has a nice umami and sharpness that I like. I recommend a medium temperature range rather than too cold.
