About
It has a clean astringency on the finish, and its moderate acidity makes it a good food sake with a crisp, well-defined finish. Because it is pasteurized (hiire) immediately after production is complete, it retains a sense of freshness. It is best served at room temperature or chilled, though those who enjoy its distinctive acidity may also try it lukewarm (nurukan). However, warming it thoroughly is not recommended, as the acidity and refreshing aroma become too pronounced.
