Fragrant, gently sweet nose combining notes of strawberry and white peach, touched by a faint ginjōka sharpness and a trace of alcohol. It begins softly and smoothly, broadening into a full-bodied expression rich in umami. The flavour deepens as it spreads, revealing the mellow, rounded quality of a well-aged sake. A subtle sweetness and gradually emerging acidity add balance and complexity, leading to a clean, lingering finish.
Tasted chilled, at room temperature, and finally warmed to about 50 °C (熱燗 atsukan), it retained its lively acidity and fruit tones while developing a creamier texture when heated. Exploring it across temperatures proved a rewarding way to explore how its flavour profile evolves with warmth and time!
