Flavor: Banana → Melon
The color is slightly yellow, and there are some residual residues that are unique to unfiltered.
Uitate is mild, with a slight raw material aroma.
The attack has a banana-like thickened flavor and a small amount of gas. The lingering aroma has a melon-like bitterness that sets the flavor, making it clean and easy to drink.
I was so impressed with the Junmai Hudan that I bought the Yamahai this time!
It has a more robust flavor than the Junmai 🤔.
Since it is Yamahai, I then warmed it up.
The nose has a zing of alcohol, and the attack has a banana-like umami followed by a tangy, pungent acidity and bitterness that leaves the palate.
Personally, I prefer it hot to lukewarm!
I think this may be the first time I've ever had an unfiltered, unfiltered, uncured sake that was better heated up 😳.
On the second day, the sweetness is a little less pronounced and the acidity and bitterness are more assertive. Personally, I prefer this one!
