Tasting comments

Hidekazu Ishiwata
(Former National Tax Bureau Chief Appraiser)(chilled)
This sake's main appeal is its dried fruit-like mature aroma which gives it depth. Full body, but with a good acidity and a sharp outline. The finish is very short.
(warm)
The matured aroma is equally as attractive when warmed. I also feel a slight burning sensation.
Soft taste with lactic acid and succinic acid.
Expansive flavor. Beautiful aftertaste. -

The maturer nuances in the nose are not too strong, just right. There is a little sweetness, and the pleasant acidity gives it a little buoyancy. It's the type of sake that you want to keep drinking at room temperature. It has a great aftertaste that compels another sip. Might also be nice warmed. I want to pair it with dishes made with bonito stock.
(warm)
It has a fragrance and a light texture that makes you feel like you are drinking roasted green tea.
The acidity is just right. Suitable for warming, whether lukewarm or hot. You can easily drink it as much as you want. It's like that feeling of getting into a bath and slowly warming up. -

By adding water to the fermentation, the brewery has created a sence of elegance that juxtaposes with the initial toasty notes and tart impression it gives you.
You can feel the fullness of the old sake without the weight, which will make food pairing easier. I would like to try with a dish that has a solid dashi soup base.
(warm)
The high temperature is perfect for the watery structure of this sake. It feels like it is now more in focus, and the corners are slightly sharper.
Oden garnished with mustard and daikon radish, or some crispy bacon would be a good match.
