bonchi
Cloudy white and translucent. Oily air. The aroma is fresh and fruity, reminiscent of grapefruit. The intensity of the aroma is medium. The mouthfeel is sweet and sour and juicy. The nose has a hint of acacia. The higher the temperature of the bottle, the richer and richer the taste. The bitter and astringent aftertaste is just like grapefruit. It has a medium lingering finish. It is a fragrant and mellow sake.

On the third day after opening the bottle, I warmed it up and found that the bitterness and astringency had disappeared and it had mellowed, and the umami had increased, giving it a fullness that was even better.
Conclusion! This sake gives a different impression when served cold or warmed, but it is delicious at any temperature!
