Kume-zakura has recently been introduced in the context of "Iromono", but I think it might be a trend from this time around.
Yellowish yellow.
The aroma has a sense of maturity, but it also has fruits in it. Banana, apple, black tea, iodine, lactic acid?
The sweetness is well contoured and tastes good at room temperature. The acidity is also making a contour. The bitterness also adds depth to the flavor.
It would be better served warmed, but it tastes good enough as it is.
Warm it up.
The richness of the flavor comes out gradually, and the overall taste is well integrated, making it easy to drink and delicious. The acidity and bitterness are stronger than expected, so there is some tension in the taste.
It is easy to drink heated, but I prefer it at room temperature. I think you can really taste the flavor of this sake that way.
I had an image of Kumezakura at this level as a rustic Tenjyu, and I thought it would be like Tenjyu, so I guess I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I drank Kumezakura now.
