Sangu Special Junmai Sake Tsukiyomi
Sangu" which seems not to be drinkable any more. It was too good to drink, but I opened the bottle because I thought it was better to drink it before it got twitchy.
We drank it cold.
The first aroma is mild, citrusy, and alkali aroma.
The color is clear with a slight yellow tinge.
The taste starts with a slightly sharp acidity, and the nose is filled with a fluffy, mature aroma and a gradually swelling umami flavor.
A slightly bitter taste lingers on the tongue and is slightly spicy.
Maybe not my favorite...
I think it is suitable for warming, so I tried heating it up.
First trip to Nobee Yokocho this season!
When heated, the acidity mellows out, the sweetness spreads as if the entire tongue is coated, the umami is more easily felt, and the acidity is calmed down.
It is best when heated from about 50℃ and cooled down to lukewarm or lukewarm.
I tried it when pyonpyon told me that heating it up softens the edginess, and it was perfect 😉.
Heating up is a very deep process 🙄.
