mirin
My preference ★★★★☆
Aroma of sourness along with sweet aroma of rice. The mouthfeel is smooth without being heavy.
First, there is the sweetness of rice. The lightness on the palate is syrupy.
The sourness is followed by a pleasant aftertaste with a pungent spiciness at the end.
It has a strong flavor, so it will go well with dishes with a strong flavor that will not be overwhelmed by sake, or with meat dishes.
Hot sake increases the umami and acidity, but it is light. I like the taste. More elegant than the red label we had the other day.
