A sweeter junmai, easy to drink

A decent everyday sake. If you are looking for something special, this is not it, but it has a nice, clean taste that makes it easy to drink. I initially tried it chilled and it was a little simple with nothing really standing out. I typically prefer to drink my sake straight from the refrigerator, but as I got this as part of the “Team Warm” sale, I made sure to try it heated. I believe this one really improves warmed up. The warmth brings out more of the sweetness and a mellowness I really enjoyed. As I was drinking this warm, I thought I have really limited my sake journey by not trying other bottles out at the varying recommended temperatures. Lesson learned and I look forward to more warm sake this winter.

Not an immediate favorite, but it crept up on me. It seemed to taste different each time I drank some. Now I like it.

Personally was not a fan of this one. It was nutty, and had a smooth mouthfeel, but had a syrupy consistency that I did not like. Tried this warm, and I was not impressed.

I must admit, for as long as I have been drinking sake, I have not had a proper "warmed," sake. I heated to 100 degrees F and took my first drink, and was blown away. I am more smitten to junmai daiginjo, so cold is the only way to go. I loved this sake. The aftertaste, the mouthfeel; very satisfying. The nutty-ness was thoroughly enjoyable. I will definitely purchase again.

Surprisingly nutty. Wasn't my favorite but wasn't terrible either.
