toshi
[Standing aroma].
Gentle. Slightly alcoholic odor.
Color
Slightly golden.
Taste
Slightly golden in color, with a thick alcohol taste, sweetness, and a grapefruit-like bitterness. It is slightly lingering, but it is not negative, and seems to enhance the umami of sashimi and other dishes. It is not a good match for salads and boiled vegetables, as the sake wins out. It seems to go well with strong flavored and oily foods. It is good with fried food.
How to drink
Cold sake. It is also good when heated to lukewarm.
