Hanzo特別純米酒 うこん錦
Kab
This is my first time drinking this brand and we don't carry it around here very often, but I trust that Mie's fire-aged standard Junmai is around here. The official recommendation is to warm it up to lukewarm.
40 degrees Celsius. A little strong alcoholic aroma and some nutty aged flavor. At 45°C, not much change, but the ripeness fades a bit and becomes milder.
On the third day, we served it cold. This is also a nice, refreshing sake, but the ripe, syrupy flavor clings to it a bit.
Before drinking it, I had an image of a brand with a modern but sharp taste, but I was surprised to find that it seems to have aged well. It is definitely suitable for warming up.
