Notes - Brewed with Yamagata Prefecture’s sake brewing 🌾, Dewanosato, the taste is rounded and full in the mouth. Flowery notes revolving around the back of the throat and finishing off with a bitter aftertaste. There is also a mild 🍌 cake reminiscent after every sip.
For food pairing, I will suggest some light snacks of curry puff or spicy chicken wings or even hot & spicy chips (which is what I paired with) as the medium length of the sake will balance the strong taste of the snacks without the snacks overpowering the taste of the 🍶. You will still be able to taste the 🍶 after every bite. I also decided to try the 🍶 hot to experience what the change in taste was and was surprised that the 🍌 and 🍚 aroma became stronger and the taste fuller and more rounded. I have to say that I enjoy this 🍶 more when it was heated up to around 50c.
Overall, this is a nice 🍶. ♨️♨️♨️
