At room temperature, it has a strong acidity of a sake made from a traditional sake yeast yeast yeast. When heated, it mellows out, but the acidity is still strong.
The first Sasasamune was recommended by the general manager.
It has a good balance of clearness typical of Gohyakumangoku and softness typical of 50% polished rice.
Compared a standard Tokujun and a blue label Jungin. Next was the Jungin.
The aroma is simple and mellow. When served cold, it has a clear, soft flavor with a mature depth that is typical of this season's sake, but it also has a closed and sharp taste.
At room temperature, it does not seem to change much, but when heated to 50°C, it is very mellow and sweet with a nice balance. Personally, I prefer it warmed.
We compared the standard Toku Jun and Blue Label Jungin. First, the Toku Jun.
It has a clear, crisp flavor with a hint of sharpness. It has a strong sense of clarity when served cold, but when served at room temperature, it mellows out and has a sharpness with acidity that is to my liking.
This sake is more light and crisp than Jungin, giving the impression of being a versatile all-purpose food sake.
It has a refreshing umami flavor and is crisp and clean with the acidity of the sake yeast. It is an easy-to-drink mid-meal sake that is not too sharp for its sake meterage of +15.
It has a clear and sharp taste, and as the name suggests, it is drier than the Hayashi we compared. As the temperature rises, the umami flavor becomes more apparent.
