First, drink it cold to get a cool oaky aroma.
When heated up, the usual Shinkame Junmai is softly accented with oaky aroma. I really like it warmed up.

This is unintentionally shockingly delicious with a smile!

The aroma is fresh and lively. It is a new sake, so there is no sense of maturity.
The taste is rich and sweet. It has a thick, rich sweetness that can only come from very high quality rice.

The brewer recommends to drink it one week after opening the bottle to allow the true flavors to develop.
The sweetness, umami, and fullness increase after two weeks.

It tastes like fruit punch. It tastes like peach, pineapple, and tangerine.
