Picus(ピカス)
Taste comparison of a raw sake and a fire-aged (maybe) sake from the same brewery, sake rice, and rice polishing ratio.
Both have a strong acidity and umami from the Yamahai process, but the Hi-ire sake is mellower and seems to go well with sashimi and other light snacks.
The Nama sake is thick and rich, and is good with foods with strong flavors such as sweet-and-sour pork and kimchi.
