When served cold, the aroma is pineapple-like, the taste is light sweetness, then tingling acidity, and finally bitterness. When tasted slowly, the bitterness is quite noticeable, so drink quickly to balance the transition between flavors. When lukewarm, the sweetness becomes stronger and the acidity and bitterness become weaker. If you want to drink it quickly, drink it cold, if you want to savor it slowly, drink it lukewarm.

When served cold, the aroma is apple, the taste starts with sweetness, followed by sourness, and finishes with sweetness again. Very easy to drink, not too much alcohol. When lukewarm, the aroma is apple with a hint of melon. The flavor structure remains the same, but the sweetness becomes more pronounced and the alcohol is not as strong. I thought it was a sake to be drunk cold because of its reputation, but I found it to be very tasty lukewarm!

Not much aroma, light pear type. The mouthfeel is sour, then sweet, and finally bitter. The low alcohol content (13%) gives it no sense of alcohol. It has a good drinking experience, but it doesn't have that sticky feeling after drinking, which is good for those who don't like that.

When served cold, the aroma is caramel and red apple. The mouthfeel is sticky sweetness and richness like mirin (sweet sake). To be frank, it is too thick to drink. When lukewarm, the aroma is all caramel. It has a strong sweetness and a sour aftertaste. When heated, it smells like amazake, and even though it is very hot, the alcohol smell is not that strong. The mouthfeel is light sweetness and sourness. It is definitely better when it is warmed up, and it may even be better if it is heated up to the fullest.

Only served cold as it is a summer sake. The aroma is rather weak, but there are hints of rice and some pineapple. Refreshing sweetness and a bit of sourness at the beginning. Finishes with a firm bitterness. This sake is a good substitute for beer on a summer night. It is refreshing in the mouth, so it would go well with Chinese food.

When served cold, the aroma is sake aroma, faint green apple and creep. When drunk, the first taste is sweetness and umami of rice, followed by a tangy acidity that lasts until the end. When served cold, the umami becomes fuller and the acidity decreases. When heated, the aroma becomes thick like honey and condensed milk, and the mouthfeel is intensely sweet, umami, and sour. The sourness and alcohol taste will disappear when the sake cools down a little, so if you are not a fan of that, lukewarm heating may be a good option. Personally, I enjoyed it cold or hot as recommended by the brewery.
