＜Warmed sake opens up the flavor and makes it warmer.
According to the lady at the store, this sake is best served heated. So we'll have it heated. But let's taste it cold first.
The aroma is a gentle alcémé freshness. The alcohol and cemedine taste are both slightly mild and delicious.
The taste starts with a moderate sweetness and acidity, followed by a soft spread of umami. It is surprisingly gentle.
While I was tasting it, it started to heat up. Let's taste the real thing, the heated sake.
Whoa! The aroma is already open. The cemedine taste has decreased, and the rice is sweet and tasty.
The flavor, too, is centered around a firm umami, and both sweetness and acidity have emerged. On the other hand, the faint bitterness has disappeared. Umami! While retaining its ease, the strength of the 80% polished rice has also emerged, giving it a rich flavor.
If we were to compare Kinnou to Ghibli, he would be like Fukuo from "The Witch's Delivery Service. He is the owner of a bakery. He is a kind and powerful man. He is not flashy, but he does a very good job.
Degree of liking: ★★★★
