Timeline
やす☆2010BY. 5.0 acidity, a spec not often seen. The color is a pale yellow.
It has a strong lemon-like acidity, both at room temperature and when heated. I have never had an aged sake with so much acidity. やす☆The color is almost colorless. It has a firmness typical of Akizuka, and is not bad at room temperature.
When heated, the flavor softens and has a sharpness with acidity. When cooled slightly, the sharpness eases and the fullness and candy-like sweetness increase, making it delicious. やす☆Fresh mouthfeel. Round, deep, juicy and grape-like with a delicious acidity. やす☆2015BY was served warm. The color is a beautiful amber.
It has a gentle, mature taste like candy or caramel. It has no twists and turns at all and makes you feel indescribably happy when you drink it.
It is one of the best matured sake I have ever had. やす☆R1BY was served warm. The color is slightly amber. It has a soft matured taste and umami. やす☆Tasted again on 23/9/09. It has a good maturity and flavor, with a nice sharpness. やす☆When served cold, it seems to be closed up.
When heated, it has a rich aroma, and while it has a modest sense of fullness, it has a robust 90% polished flavor and a sharpness with acidity. やす☆It has a clear and beautiful umami flavor that disappears quickly. It may be because it has been bottled for a year, but it was different from the dry abe I have had in the past. やす☆2019BY warmed up. The warming brought out the sweetness of the omachi and the sharpness with acidity. Personally, I feel this one is more like Taketsuru than the one I had just before. やす☆Bottled in 2020. When served cold, it has a nigori graininess with a hint of peculiarity. When heated, the peculiarity eases and the robust flavor and soft graininess can be tasted. やす☆Almost unpolished sake.
It has a beautiful golden color. When served cold, it has a strong sense of maturity even when watered.
When heated with added water, the sense of maturity is lessened and it mellows out, making it easier to drink, but it still has the robustness of a low-polished sake. It has a slightly smoky taste, but maybe that's just my imagination. やす☆Fresh and candy-like, with a strong sense of sweetness and flavor. The acidity is moderate for Kouei Kiku. It has been about a week since the bottle was opened. やす☆It has a soft, light flavor when warmed. やす☆It is soft and mellow when warmed up. Very tasty. やす☆It has a strong sweet and mild flavor.
