haru
First, a hiya.
It was bottled in December, so I guess it is quite rounded.
It is my first time to drink Isun Heki, so I can't compare the two, but it seems very rounded. 65% polished rice, and I am convinced that it dares to call itself Junmai-shu.
The aroma is light, the umami is in the middle, and the bitterness is strong at the end.
It is an excellent sake that does not interfere with meals.
I tried it as a sake, and I personally like it further heated and cooled.
You can feel the kome in the simplicity of it.
After this, I warmed it again to lukewarm.
This is the best.
Sorry for the colossal change.
It also has a freshness like apples.
It went very well with grilled sardines at all temperatures.
It was a sake that changed depending on the temperature.
On the third day after opening the bottle, the aroma and umami seemed to be higher...
And the bitterness seems to have mellowed (or maybe the umami has made it less noticeable?).
A nice sweetness has been added to the umami, and the richness has been added to both the flavor and the aroma. I like it better after opening the bottle.
It reminds me of a rich sweetness with a wild taste, aroma yamaboshi, and
Slow grilled kumquat with pork oil goes very well with it!
